Hyophryne histrio Carvalho, 1954[2]

Stereocyclops histrio is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to the northeastern Bahia state of Brazil where it occurs in remnants of the Atlantic forest.[3] After the holotype was collected in 1944, the species went unrecorded until a population was found in the Una Biological Reserve and its surroundings in 1999.[4] It is now known from four locations.[3][5] Common name Bahia yellow frog has been coined for it,[3] perhaps in reference to the bright lemon yellow coloration of the holotype.[2] It was the only species in the genus Hyophryne until 2012 when molecular data demonstrated that it is nested within Stereocyclops species.[6]
