Scinax x-signatus (common name: Venezuela snouted treefrog [2] or Venezuelan snouted treefrog [3]) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in Brazil, the Guyanas ( Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname), Venezuela and Colombia. Introduced populations exist on Guadeloupe and two nearby smaller islands, Marie Galante and La Désirade, [2] and on Martinique. [3] It may represent more than one species. [1] [2]
Scinax x-signatus is a very common frog inhabiting tropical savannas, forest edges, and open areas, and is very adaptable to habitat modification. [1] It is considered an invasive species on Guadeloupe, threatening native frogs through competition. [4]
Breeding takes place in standing water, both permanent and seasonal. Males call from the vegetation above and around ponds. [1]
