Tetete's tree frog (Boana tetete) is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Ecuador, Peru and Colombia. Scientists have seen it between 180 and 420 meters above sea level.[3][1]
This frog is nocturnal. It has been observed resting on plants a few feet above flooded areas. It has large eyes and discs on its toes for climbing. For a South American tree frog, it is medium-sized.[1]
This frog is a sister species to Boana alfaroi. It is named after the Teteté people, a group of indigenous people who lived in the Amazon until about 1970.[1]
