Bokermannohyla nanuzae is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and known from the Serra do Espinhaço and Serra da Mantiqueira in the Minas Gerais state.[1][2]

Etymology

The specific name nanuzae honours Nanuza Luiza de Menezes, one of Brazil's most important botanists.[3]

Habitat and conservation

Bokermannohyla nanuzae is a common species that occurs on vegetation near streams in gallery forests at elevations of 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level and higher. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by mining, fires, and infrastructure development for human settlement. Also disturbance by tourists is a threat. It occurs in the Serra do Cipó National Park.[1]

gollark: However, I want higher future bee density right now.

gollark: If I don't exist, there may not be any agents increasing bee density.

gollark: Further assume that I wish to maximise bee density throughout all time.

gollark: Let's say I'm an optimiziation algorithm maximizing bee density.

gollark: What? That makes no sense.
