Boana xerophylla (Duméril & Bibron 1841)

Boana xerophylla is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It's found in northern South America.

Taxonomy

Boana xerophylla was described in 1841 as Hyla xerophylla.^[1] However, for decades in the 1900s, it was regarded as a synonym of Boana crepitans, until it was resurrected as a separate species in 2017. In 2021, the Boana xerophylla populations north of the Orinoco river were separated as a new species, Boana platanera.^[2] A population from Suriname has sometimes been called Boana fuentei, but it's currently classified as a synonym of Boana xerophylla.^[1]

Description

The dorsal coloration of Boana xerophylla ranges from dark brown to green.^[2] It's average snout–vent length is 49.69 millimetres (1.96 in).^[2][3]

Distribution

Boana xerophylla is found in northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela south of the Orinoco river.^[1][2]
