Myersiohyla neblinaria, the neblina tree frog, is a frog in the family Hylidae, endemic to Venezuela and possibly Brazil. Scientists have seen it between 1250 and 2100 meters above sea level. [3] [1] [2]

The Myersiohyla neblinaria is a sturdy tree frog of medium size. Males typically measure between 47.7 and 52.3 mm from snout to vent, while females range from 54.0 to 61.6 mm. It possesses a relatively large head that is slightly longer than its width, comprising approximately one-third of its overall body length. When viewed from the top, the snout appears rounded, while from the side, it appears truncated, featuring a curved upper part and a concave area between the eyes. [4]
