Bromeliohyla
genus of amphibians
Bromeliohyla, the bromeliad tree frogs, is a group of frogs in the family Hylidae.[2][3] Scientists made this genus in 2005 when they looked at all the Hylidae frogs again. The first two species they put in this genus had been in Hyla.[1] They are found in tropical southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and northern Honduras.[2]
