Hylodes

Hylodes is a genus of frogs in the family Hylodidae.[1][2] It might be paraphyletic with respect to Megaelosia. The genus is endemic to southeastern Brazil. They are also known as the tree toads, or more ambiguously, as torrent frogs.[1] They are diurnal and usually inhabit shallow mountain streams.[3]
