Sphaenorhynchus prasinus, or Bokermann's lime treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern and southeastern Brazil and occurs in the states of Pernambuco, Alagoas, Bahia, and Minas Gerais.[2]

The species occurs in secondary forest, clearings in forest, and forest edges at elevations below 500 m (1,600 ft) above sea level. Breeding takes place in temporary ponds. It is locally very abundant, but its population is believed to decreasing, probably due to habitat loss.[1]
