Isthmohyla Rivularis
''Isthmohyla rivularis'' is a rare species of frog in the family Hylidae. It occurs in the cordilleras of Tilarán, Central, and Talamanca in Costa Rica as well as adjacent western Panama. The species was thought to already have become extinct, but in 2007, it was re-discovered in the Monteverde Cloud Forest of Costa Rica when a single male was found. In 2008, a gravid female and few males were spotted. The common name American Cinchona Plantation treefrog has been suggested for it. Description Males grow to and females to in snout–vent length. The snout is moderately short and acutely rounded. The tympanum is barely discernible. The fingers have large discs and are up to one-third webbed. The toes have discs that are slightly smaller than those on the fingers and are two-thirds webbed. The dorsal color varies from grey to light brown. Most specimens have a thin, dark line running through the eye. Other dark markings are variably present. The flanks are usually yellowish, b ...

Isthmohyla Graceae
The Continental Divide tree frog (''Isthmohyla graceae'') is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Panama and possibly Costa Rica. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... References Sources Isthmohyla Amphibians described in 1982 Taxonomy articles created by Polbot {{Hylinae-stub ...

Amphibians Of Central America
Amphibians are four-limbed and ectothermic vertebrates of the class Amphibia. All living amphibians belong to the group Lissamphibia. They inhabit a wide variety of habitats, with most species living within terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal or freshwater aquatic ecosystems. Thus amphibians typically start out as larvae living in water, but some species have developed behavioural adaptations to bypass this. The young generally undergo metamorphosis from larva with gills to an adult air-breathing form with lungs. Amphibians use their skin as a secondary respiratory surface and some small terrestrial salamanders and frogs lack lungs and rely entirely on their skin. They are superficially similar to reptiles like lizards but, along with mammals and birds, reptiles are amniotes and do not require water bodies in which to breed. With their complex reproductive needs and permeable skins, amphibians are often ecological indicators; in recent decades there has been a dramatic decline ...

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 ...

Isthmohyla Zeteki
''Isthmohyla zeteki'' is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae native to the Cordillera Central and Cordillera de Talamanca of Costa Rica and western Panama. The specific name ''zeteki'' honors James Zetek, an American entomologist who worked in Panama. Common name Zetek's treefrog has been coined for the species. Description ''Isthmohyla zeteki'' are small treefrogs, with males growing to and females to snout–vent length. The eyes are large. The tympanum is distinct. The fingers have large discs and rudiments of basal webbing. The outer toes are two-thirds webbed whereas the inner toe is almost free from webbing; the discs are smaller than those on the fingers. Dorsal coloration varies from yellowish tan to green, whereas ventral surface is translucent white. The iris is dull red, red-brown, or bronzy pink. The male advertisement call lasts about four seconds and consists of five pulsed notes. The second and third note are the shortest, and the two last ones are the ...

Isthmohyla Xanthosticta
''Isthmohyla xanthosticta'' is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Costa Rica and only known from its type locality on the south slope of Volcan Barba in the Heredia Province. Common name south fork treefrog has been coined for it. Description This species is known from the holotype, an adult female measuring in snout–vent length, and another specimen. The head is as wide as the body. The snout is moderately long and truncate. The tympanum is distinct but partly covered by the supra-tympanic fold. The forelimbs are moderately long and slender. The fingers bear large discs and are about one-fourth webbed. The hind limbs are moderately short and slender.

Isthmohyla Lancasteri
''Isthmohyla lancasteri'' (common name: Lancaster's treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to humid premontane slopes of the Cordillera de Talamanca in Costa Rica and western Panama. Taxonomy ''Isthmohyla lancasteri'' was described by Thomas Barbour in 1928, based a single specimen (the holotype) collected by C. R. Lancaster—and after whom the species is named. The species is very variable; however, high-altitude populations that were first ascribed to this species were in 1996 recognized as a new, distinct species, '' Isthmohyla calypsa''.
