Rosenberg's treefrog (Hypsiboas rosenbergi), also known as Rosenberg's gladiator frog or Rosenberg's gladiator treefrog, is a species of frog in the family of tree frogs (Hylidae) and genus of gladiator frogs (Boana) found in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and north-western Ecuador.[3] Its scientific name is a testimony to Mr. W. F. H. Rosenberg who collected the type series,[2] and its common name refers to the aggressiveness of males of the species.[4]
