Sarcohyla chryses, also known as the golden treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero, Mexico.[1][2] Its sister species is Sarcohyla mykter.[3]

Sarcohyla chryses occurs in humid cool areas in wet pine-oak forest, cloud forest, and fir forest at elevations of 2,300–2,600 m (7,500–8,500 ft) above sea level; it can also occur inside caves. It breeds in streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and potentially also by chytridiomycosis. It is present in Parque Nacional Guerrero [sic].[1]
