Taxonomy and systematics

The genus is currently defined to include Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni and its closest relatives.[1][2] Its sister taxon is Celsiella. Some species formerly in this genus are now in Vitreorana or Teratohyla.[2]

Description

Hyalinobatrachium have a bulbous liver covered by white pigment, a transparent parietal peritoneum, and lack a humeral spine in adult males. The bones are white in living animals. Males usually call from the underside of leaves. Females deposit one layer of eggs on the underside of leaves.[2]
