The New River tree frog (Trachycephalus hadroceps) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and possibly Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
Trachycephalus is a genus of frogs, commonly known as the casque-headed tree frogs, in the family Hylidae. They are found in Mexico, Central America, and South America. In a recent revision, the seven species of the genus Phrynohyas were included in this genus, and Phrynohyas is now considered a synonym of Trachycephalus. These frogs inhabit the canopies of tropical rainforests, where they breed in tree cavities, and seldom, if ever, descend to the ground.
The Mission golden-eyed tree frog or Amazon milk frog is a large species of arboreal frog native to the Amazon Rainforest in South America. It is sometimes referred to as the blue milk frog due to a sticky, milk-like substance that they produce when feeling threatened. It was first discovered along the Maracanã River in Brazil. This species was previously within the genus Phrynohyas, which was recently synonymized with Trachycephalus.
Trachycephalus venezolanus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical swamps, intermittent freshwater lakes, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Bokermann's casque-headed tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Surinam golden-eyed tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and possibly Colombia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Rio golden-eyed tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Argentina and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, plantations, rural gardens, urban areas, and heavily degraded former forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Trachycephalus lepidus is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. This species was previously within the genus Phrynohyas, which was recently synonymized with Trachycephalus.
Trachycephalus mesophaeus is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil and occurs in the Atlantic Forest between Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul, extending inland to central Minas Gerais. It is found at elevations below 800 m (2,600 ft). Common name Porto Alegre golden-eyed treefrog has been coined for it, Porto Alegre being its type locality.
The black-spotted casque-headed tree frog is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater lakes, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, rural gardens, and heavily degraded former forests.

Rhacodactylus trachycephalus, commonly known as the lesser rough-snouted giant gecko, dwarf rough-snouted giant gecko, or tough-snouted giant gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to two small areas of islands in New Caledonia. Its body grows to around 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and has a mosaic pattern with a variety of colors. Rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus is a closely related species, but R. trachycephalus is smaller and has a number of other noticeable differences. R. trachycephalus is viviparous, giving birth to only one or two young a year. Its restricted humid forest habitat is vulnerable due to multiple threats. As a result of habitat reduction, low reproduction rate and small population, it is one of the rarest geckos in the world.
Stenocercus trachycephalus, Duméril's whorltail iguana, is a species of lizard of the Tropiduridae family. It is found in Colombia.
Trachycephalus quadrangulum, the Chocoan milk frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Pacific slopes of the Andes in Ecuador and Peru. Scientists have seen it between 20 and 350 meters above sea level.

Trachycephalus helioi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It has been observed only in Brazil at a single location.
Tepuihyla shushupe is a frog in the family Hylidae. Scientists know it exclusively from its site of collection, the headwaters of the rivers Ere and Campuya near the Colombian border within Peru. They collected the sample 145 meters above sea level.
The milky tree frog is a frog population endemic to Mexico, Central America, Ecuador, and Venezuela. It might be one species of frog or it might be many. The Amphibian Species of the World uses the scientific name Trachycephalus "vermiculatus," with quotes, for all frogs that scientists once considered part of Trachycephalus typhonius but later decided were not, a placeholder taxon. Other English names for these frogs include veined tree frog, common tree frog, warty tree frog, marbled tree frog, vein-eyed glue frog, Amazon tree frog, and pepper tree frog.
