''Dendropsophus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are distributed in Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay. They are sometimes known under the common name Fitzinger neotropical treefrogs or yellow treefrogs This genus was resurrected in 2005 following a major revision of the family Hylidae., 2005: Systematic Review of the Frog Family Hylidae, with Special Reference to Hylinae: Phylogenetic Analysis and Taxonomic Revision. ''Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History'', Num. 294, pp.1-240/ref> The species believed to have 30 chromosomes, previously placed in the genus ''Hyla ''Hyla'' is a genus of frogs in the tree frog family Hylidae.

Leopold Fitzinger
Leopold Joseph Franz Johann Fitzinger (13 April 1802 – 20 September 1884) was an Austrian zoologist. Fitzinger was born in Vienna and studied botany at the University of Vienna under Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin. He worked at the Vienna Naturhistorisches Museum between 1817, when he joined as a volunteer assistant, and 1821, when he left to become secretary to the provincial legislature of Lower Austria; after a hiatus he was appointed assistant curator in 1844 and remained at the Naturhistorisches Museum until 1861. Later he became director of the zoos of Munich and Budapest. In 1826 he published ''Neue Classification der Reptilien'', based partly on the work of his friends Friedrich Wilhelm Hemprich and Heinrich Boie. In 1843 he published ''Systema Reptilium'', covering geckos, chameleons and iguanas. Fitzinger is commemorated in the scientific names of five reptiles: '' Algyroides fitzingeri'', '' Leptotyphlops fitzingeri'', '' Liolaemus fitzingerii'', ''Micrurus tener fitzi ...

Dendropsophus Bogerti
''Dendropsophus bogerti'' is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Andes of Colombia and occurs in the Cordillera Central in Antioquia, Caldas, and Chocó Departments. The specific name ''bogerti'' honors Charles Mitchill Bogert, an American herpetologist. Soon after its description in 1970, it was relegated to synonymy of ''Dendropsophus carnifex'', but its species status was restored in 1997. Description In a sample from Chocó, three adult males measure and an adult female measures in snout–vent length (SVL). In a sample of 11 adults (no sex specified), including the holotype, SVL varied between . The snout is short and rounded. The tympanum is very indistinct. The fingers are webbed at the base, whereas the toes are slightly more than one-half webbed. Coloration is sexually dimorphic: males have dull yellowish green dorsal surfaces of body and limbs, while these are pale golden brown or beige in females. The concealed surfaces of the limbs are ...

The eggs are laid on tree leaves above bodies of water (both temporary and permanent); the tadpole A tadpole is the larval stage in the biological life cycle of an amphibian. Most tadpoles are fully aquatic, though some species of amphibians have tadpoles that are terrestrial. Tadpoles have some fish-like features that may not be found i ...s fall into the water where they continue to develop. It is a very adaptable s ...

Dendropsophus Bromeliaceus
''Dendropsophus bromeliaceus'', or Teresensis' bromeliad frog, is a frog in the family Hylidae, endemic to Brazil. Scientists have only seen it in the mountains in the Reserva Biológica Augusto Ruschi.\ The adult male frog measures 16.1–18.4 mm long in snout-vent length.
