The Mixteca cloud-forest tree frog (Charadrahyla sakbah) is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Mexico. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: 1390 meters above sea level in the western Sierra Madre del Sur, in Oaxaca. [2] [3] [1]

The adult male frog measures 81.15–85.75 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 67.91–73.21 mm. Its large size distinguishes it from other members of the genus. They have hypertrophied webbed skin between their toes. Only frogs from this part of the world have webbing of this kind. [4]

The two locations are about 172 km (107 mi) apart. After having not been seen after 1993, it was feared that the species might be extinct. However, the species was rediscovered in field surveys in 2011–2012, extending its range with a new locality about 10 km north of the type locality.
