The La Loma tree frog (Hyloscirtus colymba) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Costa Rica, Panama, and expected but not confirmed in Colombia.[2] Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland and montane forests, with breeding taking place in streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis.[1]
The common name refers to La Loma, its type locality on the trail between Chiriquí Lagoon and Boquete, in the Bocas del Toro Province of Panama.[2]
