Hylanicefori also known as the Colombian Backpack Frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the border region between Boyacá and Casanare in Colombia and only known from the holotype. The name format, as used by the American Museum of Natural History's Amphibian Species of the World, indicates that while this species is temporarily kept in the hylid type genus Hyla, it belongs elsewhere in the family and will be reassigned pending a taxonomic resolution. It was originally placed in Cryptobatrachus, but a later study revealed a number morphological differences showing that it is not in family Hemiphractidae, instead pointing to it being a hylid frog, perhaps Hyloscirtus.
