Hylorina sylvatica (also known as the Emerald forest frog, or in Spanish, sapo arboreo) is a species of frog in the family Batrachylidae. [2] It is monotypic within the genus Hylorina. [3] It is found in Argentina and Chile. This species is endemic to the austral Nothofagus forests of Chile and Argentina with a narrow distribution along the eastern slopes of the Andes. [1] [2]
Description
Male Hylorina sylvatica grow to snout-vent length of 53–56 mm (2.1–2.2 in) and females to 60–66 mm (2.4–2.6 in). They are emerald-green during the day while they turn dark green at night. [4] Adults can be found in permanent and temporary pools, swamps, and marshes. Larvae are aquatic and found in pools and ponds. [1]
Conservation status
While Hylorina sylvatica is uncommon and threatened by habitat loss (due to, e.g., logging), IUCN classifies it as of " Least Concern" in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and slow rate of decline. [1]
