Ecnomiohyla
''Ecnomiohyla'', commonly known as fringe-limbed treefrogs or marvelous frogs, is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. This genus was erected in 2005 following a major revision of Hylidae. The ten original species in this genus (''E. rabborum'' and ''E. sukia'' are later discoveries) were previously placed in the genus ''Hyla''. The generic name ''Ecnomiohyla'' comes from Greek ''ecnomios'' ("marvelous" or "unusual") and Hylas, the companion of Hercules. Description Members of ''Ecnomiohyla'' are moderately sized to very large frogs with distinctive scalloped fringes of skin on the outer edges of their limbs and relatively immense hands and feet. They are found in the canopies of wet forested highlands of southern Mexico Mexico (Spanish: México), officially the United Mexican States, is a country in the southern portion of North America. It is bordered to the north by the United States; to the south and west by the Pacific Ocean; to the southeast by Guatema ... throug ...

Ecnomiohyla Rabborum
''Ecnomiohyla rabborum'', commonly known as Rabbs' fringe-limbed treefrog, is a possibly extinct species of frog in the family Hylidae. They were relatively large frogs that inhabited the forest canopies of central Panama. Like other members of the genus ''Ecnomiohyla'', they were capable of gliding by spreading their enormous and fully webbed hands and feet during descent. The males of the species were highly territorial and would guard water-filled tree holes used for breeding. They were also the ones responsible for guarding and caring for the young, including providing food. They were the only known species of frog where the tadpoles derived nutrition by feeding on the skin cells of their fathers. The species was discovered in 2005 and formally described in 2008 by a team of herpetologists led by Joseph R. Mendelson III. It was named in honor of the conservationists and herpetologists George B. Rabb and Mary S. Rabb. It was officially listed as Critically Endangered b ...

Ecnomiohyla Thysanota
''Ecnomiohyla thysanota'', also known as Cerro Mali treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Panama where it is known from its type locality, Cerro Malí in eastern Serranía de Darién, near the border to Colombia, where it might also occur. This arboreal species is only known from a single specimen, the holotype. Description The holotype is a female measuring in snout–vent length. The head is wider than the body and flat on the top. The snout is moderately long and rounded. The tympanum is distinct albeit partly obscured by the supratympanic fold. The canthus is heavy and rounded. The arms and feet have dermal fringes referred to in its specific name ''thysanota'', from Greek ''thysanotos'', meaning "fringed". The fingers are early fully webbed and bear large discs. The toes are fully webbed and bear discs almost as large as the fingers ones. The living specimen had green dorsum and pinkish white ventral surfaces were. The iris was brown. Ha ...

Rheohyla Miotympanum
''Rheohyla'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. As currently recognized, it is monotypic, containing only ''Rheohyla miotympanum'', also known as the small-eared hyla or small-eared treefrog. However, the nominal species likely is a complex of more than one species. It is endemic to eastern and central Mexico. The generic name refers to streams, the breeding habitat of this frog (from Greek meaning 'stream' combined with ''Hylas''). The specific name is derived from Greek , a diminutive prefix, together with Greek (='drum') and refers to the small tympanum. Taxonomy This genus was erected in 2016 to accommodate former ''Ecnomiohyla miotympanum''; AmphibiaWeb still uses this earlier classification. Faivovich and colleagues argued in 2018 that splitting ''Rheohyla miotympanum'' from ''Ecnomiohyla'' was not necessary on the grounds of obtaining monophyletic ''Ecnomiohyla'', but is nevertheless convenient because it allows associating ''Ecnomiohyla'' with several putative p ...
