Agalychnis
''Agalychnis'' is a genus of tree frogs native to forests in Mexico, Central America and northwestern South America. The genus consists of 14 species within the family Phyllomedusinae, ''Phyllomedusidae''. Description ''Agalychnis'' are slender frogs that have many different color combinations. As tree-dwelling amphibians, they primarily inhabit forest canopies. These frogs have webbed toes and adhesive pads at the tips of their digits. Their dorsal coloration ranges from light to dark green, with some species capable of changing color, such as ''Agalychnis lemur'', which transitions from green during the day to reddish-brown or orange-tan at night. Ventral colors vary between yellow, white, or orange. Body length spans from 30mm to 88mm. They have long, slender limbs, a flattened body, and a rounded head with a short snout. Their eyes are large and protruding, and their skin can be smooth or slightly bumpy. Distribution and habitat ''Agalychnis'' species are found in the Neo ...

Agalychnis Callidryas
''Agalychnis callidryas'', commonly known as the red-eyed tree frog or red-eyed leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is one of the most recognizable frogs. It is native to forests from Central America to north-western South America. This species is known for its bright coloration, namely its vibrant green body with blue and yellow stripes on the side. It has a white underside, brightly red and orange colored feet, and is named after its distinctive bright red eyes. One particular and special feature of the frogs coloration is its exceptional high reflectance in the near-infrared. ''Agalychnis callidryas'' is an arboreal frog with long limbs and webbed toes. They mate and reproduce near ponds, and are therefore found in lowland wet areas found in tropical forests. Like all the frogs in its genus, they are nocturnal and do most of their hunting for insects at night. The males of this species are smaller than the females, and they display non-random ...

Agalychnis Saltator
''Agalychnis saltator'', also known as the parachuting red-eyed leaf frog and misfit leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is found in the Caribbean lowlands from north-eastern Honduras to eastern-central Costa Rica at elevations of asl. Description Male ''Agalychnis saltator'' measure and females in snout–vent length. They have distinctive red eyes with vertical pupils. The dorsum is light or dark leaf green with bluish purple flanks. They have large suction disks and extensive webbing between the fingers and toes. Habitat and behaviour ''Agalychnis saltator'' are nocturnal and arboreal. They inhabit lowland and montane humid and wet forests, and to a lesser extent, adjacent premontane wet forests and rainforests. They live in tree canopies, but descend to temporary pools to reproduce. Male frog can leap from considerable heights to plants on the mating sites, extending its limbs and spreading out the skin between its fingers and toes, hence ...

Agalychnis Taylori
''Agalychnis taylori'', commonly known as the red-eyed tree frog or Taylor's leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It was originally described as a subspecies of ''Agalychnis callidryas'' in 1957. In 1967 it was synonymized with ''Agalychnis callidryas'' by Savage and Heyer. In 2019, it was resurrected and elevated to a full species based on well-supported morphological data. The range of ''Agalychnis taylori'' extends from central Veracruz Veracruz, formally Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Veracruz de Ignacio de la Llave, is one of the 31 states which, along with Mexico City, comprise the 32 Political divisions of Mexico, Federal Entit ..., Mexico, to west-central Honduras. Habitat The Agalychnis Taylori appear in humid lowlands of in West-central Honduras, Guatemala, Belize,Oaxaca, and Southern Veracruz, Mexico These organisms tend to flee to swamps during their mating season (wet seasons). During dry ...

Agalychnis Lemur
''Agalychnis lemur'', the lemur leaf frog or lemur frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama, and adjacent northwestern Colombia. It is classed as Critically Endangered and threatened by the fungal disease chytridiomycosis. Habitat The lemur leaf frog lives in tropical mid-elevation pre-montane rainforest between 440 and 1600 metres ASL. Costa Rica is currently host to three sites in which this species resides. They are Fila Asuncion (an abandoned farm 15 km southwest of Limón); a forested area near Parque National Barbilla; and Guayacán in Limón Province. Of these three locations Fila Asuncion is the only one known to have a large breeding population. Biology Morphological characteristics During the day the lemur leaf frog is a vibrant green but changes to brown at night. This characteristic enhances its ability to camouflage in the day and hunt at night. The lemur leaf frog is a slender species. It has no inte ...

Agalychnis Danieli
''Agalychnis danieli'', also known as the Antioquia leaf frog, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is endemic to Colombia and only known from its type locality in the northern part of the western flank of the Cordillera Occidental in the Antioquia Department. The specific name ''danieli'' honours Brother Daniel Gonzales Patiño, a Colombian monk with naturalist inclinations who became the director of Natural History Museum of the Instituto de La Salle, Bogotá. ''Agalychnis danieli'' is only known from a juvenile specimen collected from a leaf on vegetation near a stream in primary forest at about above sea level Height above mean sea level is a measure of a location's vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) in reference to a vertical datum based on a historic mean sea level. In geodesy, it is formalized as orthometric height. The zero level .... Later survey to the type locality did not reveal new specimens. The habitat of this species i ...

Agalychnis Moreletii
Morelet's tree frog (''Agalychnis moreletii''), also known as black-eyed leaf frog and popeye hyla, is a species of frog in the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. It is found in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. Description Physically, Morelet's tree frog has a similar form to the related red-eyed tree frog ( ''A. callidryas''), with which its range overlaps in areas, albeit slightly smaller, and with a more uniformly-green body, dark black eyes, and a red or pink underbelly. Distribution and habitat Morelet's tree frog primarily inhabits moist, subtropical lowland forests, montane or cloud forests, or wetland habitats with sufficient tree cover. The species is found in the middle of Central America, from southern Mexico to NW Honduras, as well as Belize, El Salvador and Guatemala. In Mexic ...
