Hypsiboas
''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''.

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.
