Mexican burrowing tree frog

The Mexican burrowing tree frog or cross-banded tree frog (Smilisca) is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They live in Mexico, southern Texas and Arizona, Central America, and northwestern South America.
Scientists studying Hylidae recently decided that two species from "Pternohyla" were really "Smilisca".
The name "smilisca" is from the Ancient Greek "" for "little knife." The Mexican burrowing tree frogs are called "Smilisca" because they have pointed frontoparietal processes.
