Hylomantis

genus of amphibians

Hylomantis is a genus of tree frogs. Some scientists say they are in the family Hylidae and other scientists say they are in the family Phyllomedusidae. They are called rough leaf frogs in English. They live in the Atlantic forest in eastern Brazil. There are two species in this genus. Scientists used to say there were more, but now they think those frogs are really in the genus Agalychnis.[1][2]
