Schmidt's Mountain Brook Frog
Schmidt's mountain brook frog (''Duellmanohyla schmidtorum'') is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Pacific slopes of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas in southwestern Guatemala and southern Mexico in eastern Oaxaca and southwestern Chiapas. It is named after Karl Patterson Schmidt, American herpetologist, and his brother Frank, who collected with him. The species' natural habitats are montane cloud forests, elevations above sea level. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by deforestation and infrastructure development, and possibly, chytridiomycosis Chytridiomycosis ( ) is an infectious disease in amphibians, caused by the chytrid fungi ''Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'' and ''Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans''. Chytridiomycosis has been linked to dramatic population declines or extincti ....

Honduran Brook Frog
The Honduran brook frog (''Duellmanohyla salvavida'') is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Honduras. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. Scientists have seen it between 90 and 1400 m above sea level in Honduras in rainforests. The adult male frog measures 25.1-28 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 34 mm.

Hylinae
Hylinae is a large subfamily of "tree frogs", family Hylidae. Classification The contents of this subfamily vary substantially according to the source. The Amphibian Species of the World follows the revision by Duellman and colleagues from 2016 based on molecular data and delimits the subfamily more narrowly than before, treating parts of former Hylinae as their own subfamilies. Following this classification, there were 18 genera totaling 174 species in the end of 2020. They are found North, Central, and the northmost South America, much of temperate Eurasia, Japan, and extreme northern Africa, however, only ''Hyla'' is found outside the Americas. The Wikipedia is following this classification. The AmphibiaWeb follows an older classification defining Hylinae more broadly, with several hundred species. At the end of 2020, the AmphibiaWeb lists 42 genera totaling 737 species. Amphibian Species of the World At the end of 2020, the Amphibian Species of the World includes the follo ...

Hylidae
Hylidae is a wide-ranging family of frogs commonly referred to as "tree frogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semiaquatic. Taxonomy and systematics The earliest known fossils that can be assigned to this family are from the Cretaceous of India and the state of Wyoming in the United States. The common name of "tree frog" is a popular name for several species of the family Hylidae. However, the name "treefrog" is not unique to this family, also being used for many species in the family Rhacophoridae. The following genera are recognised in the family Hylidae: * Subfamily Hylinae ** Tribe Cophomantini *** '' Aplastodiscus'' – canebrake treefrogs *** ''Boana'' – gladiator treefrogs *** ''Bokermannohyla'' *** ''Hyloscirtus'' *** ''Myersiohyla'' *** ''Nesorohyla'' *** '' "Hyla" nicefori'' ** Tribe Dendropsophini ***''Dendropsophus'' *** '' Julianus'' *** ''Lysapsus'' †...
