Scinax rupestris, the Veadeiros snouted tree frog,[1] is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and has been found in the state of Goiás.[2][3]

This frog favors temporary streams and rivulets over 1000 meters above sea level, in areas rich in quartzite.[2]

The adult male frog measures 21.9 to 27.7 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog is 26.7 to 31.7 mm. The iris of its eye is iridescent yellow. There is a keratinized spike behind the jaw.[4]
