Hylodes
genus of amphibians
Hylodes is a genus of frogs in the family Hylodidae.[1][2] Scientists believe these frogs live in the same places as Megaelosia. These frogs live in southeastern Brazil. In English, people call them tree toads or torrent frogs, even though other frogs are also called torrent frogs.[1] They are active during the day and usually swim in shallow mountain streams.[3]
