Boana xerophylla is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in northern Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela south of the Orinoco. [1] [2]
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]
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]
Leporinus is a genus of fish in the family Anostomidae native to South America. The fossil species Leporinus scalabrinii, known from the late Miocene of Entre Ríos in Argentina, has only recently been added to this genus after being misidentified as a species of primate under the name Arrhinolemur scalabrinii for over 100 years.

Dendropsophini is a tribe of small neotropical tree frogs in the subfamily Hylinae. They are distributed from southern Mexico, throughout Central America, and down South America to northern Argentina and Uruguay.

As defined by Favovich et al. in 2005, the tribe Dendrosophini contains the members of three former subfamilies within the Hylidae prior to taxonomic rearrangement: Dendropsophinae, Pseudinae, and Scinaxinae.
