Dryophytes arboricola, commonly known as the arboreal treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to the Sierra Madre del Sur in Guerrero state, Mexico. [2]

Dryophytes arboricola is a poorly known frog. It is assumed to be a montane forest species that breeds in temporary pools. It is probably impacted by habitat loss. [1]

Kassina arboricola, sometimes known as the Ivory Coast running frog, is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in southwestern Ghana and westward to south-central Ivory Coast. It occurs in secondary forests and forest edges, and to very limited extent, degraded former forest. Breeding takes place in both temporary and permanent bodies of water, although it favours large, well-vegetated pools. It is probably negatively impacted by severe deforestation caused by agricultural expansion, logging, and growing human settlements.

Kassina cochranae, sometimes known as the Cochran's running frog, is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in southern Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, western Ivory Coast, and at least tentatively, southern Ghana. Kassina arboricola was for a period treated as a subspecies Kassina cochranae arboricola, but it is now considered a valid species.
