Phasmahyla Cruzi
''Phasmahyla cruzi'' is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is endemic to Brazil and solely known from the vicinity of its type locality, Rio das Pedras Reserve in the municipality of Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro state. The range extends into the adjacent Paraty municipality. This species is named for Carlos Alberto Gonçalves da Cruz, Brazilian herpetologist.

Phasmahyla Lisbella
''Phasmahyla lisbella'' is a species of treefrog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae, endemic to Brazil. Scientists know it only from the type locality: Fazenda Ventania in Área de Protecão Ambiental Ventania. The adult male frog measures about 30.4–34.4 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the dorsum is bright green in color with very small dark brown spots. There is a yellow and brown pattern on its sides with some violet patches. This frog can change color, from bright green during the day to green-brown at night. Scientists consider this camouflage Camouflage is the use of any combination of materials, coloration, or illumination for concealment, either by making animals or objects hard to see, or by disguising them as something else. Examples include the leopard's spotted coat, the ..., making the frog harder to see during the day while it is resting.

Phyllomedusinae
Phyllomedusinae is a subfamily of hylid tree frogs found in the Neotropics commonly called leaf frogs. Formerly, they were often considered as their own family, Phyllomedusidae. The subfamily is considered to be the sister group to the Australian treefrogs (Pelodryadinae), a subfamily of frogs known from Australia and New Guinea, despite being very geographically separated from them. The common ancestor of both subfamilies is thought to have lived in early Cenozoic South America, where the Phyllomedusinae still live, with the two families diverging from one another during the Eocene. The ancestors of Pelodryadinae likely colonized Australasia from South America via Antarctica, which at the time was not yet frozen over. The clade comprising both subfamilies is sister to the Hylinae, from which they diverged in the early Paleogene. Taxonomy The subfamily Phyllomedusidae contains the following genera: * ''Agalychnis'' (14 species) * ''Callimedusa'' (six species) * ''Cruziohyla' ...

Tree Frog
A tree frog (or treefrog) is any species of frog that spends a major portion of its lifespan in trees, known as an arboreal state. Several lineages of frogs among the Neobatrachia have given rise to treefrogs, although they are not closely related to each other. Millions of years of convergent evolution have resulted in very similar morphology even in species that are not very closely related. Furthermore, tree frogs in seasonally arid environments have adapted an extra-epidermal layer of lipid and mucus as an evolutionary convergent response to accommodate the periodic dehydration stress. Description As the name implies, these frogs are typically found in trees or other high-growing vegetation. They do not normally descend to the ground, except to mate and spawn, though some build foam nests on leaves and rarely leave the trees at all as adults. Tree frogs are usually tiny as their weight has to be carried by the branches and twigs in their habitats. While some reach 10  ...
