Boana
''Boana'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are commonly known as gladiator frogs, gladiator treefrogs or Wagler Neotropical treefrogs. These frogs are distributed in the tropical Central and South America from Nicaragua to Argentina, as well as in the Caribbean (Trinidad and Tobago). This genus was resurrected following a major revision of Hylidae when some 70 species previously placed in the genus ''Hyla'' were moved to this genus. Since then, many new species have also been described. Species As of April, 2020, there are 95 species recognised in this genus: In addition, '' Hyla palliata'' and '' Hypsiboas hypselops'' are included here as ''incertae sedis ' () or ''problematica'' is a term used for a taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined. Alternatively, such groups are frequently referred to as "enigmatic taxa". In the system of open nomenclature, uncertainty ...''. References External links {{Taxonbar, from=Q5805 ...

Boana Calcarata
Troschel's treefrog (''Boana calcarata''), also known as the blue-flanked treefrog or the convict treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in most parts of the Amazon Basin, except in the southeast and the Guianas. Colombian, Venezuelan, and Surinamese records need confirmation. Taxonomy This species was originally described by Franz Hermann Troschel as ''Hyla calcarata'' in 1848. After Edward Drinker Cope transferred it to the genus ''Hypsiboas'' as ''Hypsiboas calcaratus'' in 1867, it was variously recognized with either name until Faivovich and colleagues validated ''Hypsiboas'' in 2005. However, in 2017 showed that ''Hypsiboas'' was a junior synonym of ''Boana'', the latter then being the valid name. Many sources, however, still use the old name.
