Ptychohyla is a genus of frogs (common names: stream frogs, mountain stream frogs) in the family Hylidae.[1][2] These frogs are found in the southern Mexican states of Chiapas, Guerrero, and Oaxaca, and Central America to western Panama.[1]
Ptychohyla has a pale pink iris and nuptial outgrowth in breeding males that differentiates this new species from other Mexican frog groups.[3] This new species usually live in untouched tropical forest. They are known to be vulnerable in modified habitat by humans.[3]
