Boana District
''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 ''Hypsiboas hypselops'' is a ''nomen dubium''. It was originally given by Edward Drinker Cope in 1871 to specimen(s) collected from Pebas District, Pebas in northeastern Peru.

Boana Rosenbergi
Rosenberg's treefrog (''Hypsiboas rosenbergi''), also known as Rosenberg's gladiator frog or Rosenberg's gladiator treefrog, is a species of frog in the family of tree frogs ( Hylidae) and genus of gladiator frogs (Boana) found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and north-western Ecuador. Its scientific name is a testimony to Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg who collected the type series, and its common name refers to the aggressiveness of males of the species. Description The size of ''H. rosenbergi'' varies based on the population that they belong to, with individuals from the Costa Rican population being smaller in size than those from the Panamanian population. In the Panamanian population, males of ''H. rosenbergi'' measure on average 83 mm (3.3 in) in snout–vent length and females 86 mm (3.4 in). Females also tend to be heavier than males. It has partly webbed fingers and entirely webbed toes and large disks on both fingers and toes. Its skin i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Canelos tree frog (''Boana appendiculata'') is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil, Ecuador, and Colombia. Scientists have seen it between 14 and 1050 meters above sea level. The adult male frog is 38.5 to 51.9 mm long in snout-vent length. The adult female frog is 53.5 to 72.6 mm long. The skin on the ventrum is coffee-colored, and the dorsum is yellow or orange. This frog lives in primary and secondary forest A secondary forest (or second-growth forest) is a forest or woodland area which has re-grown after a timber harvest or clearing for agriculture, until a long enough period has passed so that the effects of the disturbance are no longer evident. ...s, pantanals, artificial open areas, and partially flooded areas. Their presence in secondary forest and human-altered habitats suggests they are somewhat resilient in the face of disturbance. They prefer streams with fast-moving water.

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. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The fingers have only basal webbing while the toes are webbed. Males have pre-pollical spines.
