Stefania scalae is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is found in Guyana, Venezuela, and possibly Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and rocky areas.
Stefania is a genus of frogs in the family Hemiphractidae. They are native to the highlands of the Guiana Shield in southern Venezuela, Guyana, and adjacent far northern Brazil. Most are restricted to the tepui highlands, but S. evansi also occurs in lowlands. On most mountains there are only 1–2 species from this genus, but five are known from Mount Ayanganna and the neighbouring Mount Wokomung has six species. They are usually found near streams at low levels on branches/leaves or on the ground among vegetation/rocks.
Stefania ackawaio is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Guyana. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Stefania ayangannae is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Guyana where it is known from Mount Ayanganna and Mount Wokomung, both in the Pacaraima Mountains.
Stefania breweri, also known as Brewer's carrying frog, is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Cerro Autana, Venezuela, and only known from a single specimen (holotype). It was named for Venezuelan explorer Charles Brewer-Carías.
Stefania coxi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Guyana and has been found on Mount Ayanganna and Mount Wokomung. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests at higher elevations.
Stefania evansi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. Stefania evansi is, along with other closely related frogs, known for its unusual reproductive mode where females carry the eggs and juveniles on their back. It is sometimes known under common names Groete Creek carrying frog, Groete Creek treefrog, or Evans' stefania. These names refer to its type locality, Groete Creek in the region Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, Guyana, where the holotype was collected by one Dr. R. Evans.
Stefania ginesi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to the Chimantá Massif, Venezuela. Its natural habitats are humid rocky habitats on tepuis. While its range is restricted, it is a common species within its range. It can be found in crevices, caves, on open rock surfaces and adjacent peat bogs, in streams and rivers. Its range overlaps with the Canaima National Park.
Stefania goini is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Amazonas, Venezuela, and known from Cerro Duida and the nearby Cerro Huachamacari. Its natural habitats are streams on the tops of tepuis. It usually occurs on rocks.
Stefania marahuaquensis is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Venezuela and known from Cerro Duida and Cerro Marahuaca, both in Amazonas State. Its occurs on rocks along the forested margins of small streams at elevations of 340–1,200 m (1,120–3,940 ft) asl. The range is within the Duida–Marahuaca National Park, and no major threats to this species have been identified.
Stefania oculosa is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to the Bolívar state of southern Venezuela and only known from Cerro Jaua, a tepui; it possibly occurs more widely. It was found on rocks in a fast-flowing cascading stream where it co-occurred with Stefania percristata. The known range is within the Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park, and the species is not facing known threats.
Stefania percristata is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Venezuela and only known from its type locality, Cerro Jaua in Bolívar State. It occurs along streams at the top of the tepui. It is a nocturnal species found on branches of vegetation 0.3–1 m above the ground.
Stefania riae is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. This species is only known from Cerro Sarisariñama, a tepui in the Bolívar State, Venezuela.
Stefania riveroi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is only known from Yuruaní tepui, a tepui on the border of Venezuela and Guyana. Its habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, rivers and rocky areas.
Stefania roraimae is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Guyana. Its type locality is Mount Roraima; it is also known from Mount Ayanganna and Mount Wokomung. It presumably occurs in the adjacent Venezuela and Brazil too.
Stefania satelles is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to Venezuela.
Stefania schuberti is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers.
Stefania tamacuarina is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is found in the Sierra Tapirapecó in the Amazonas state of Venezuela as well as in the adjacent Amazonas state of Brazil. The specific name tamacuarina refers to the type locality, a spur ridge north of Pico Tamacuari.
Stefania woodleyi is a species of frog in the family Hemiphractidae. It is endemic to the eastern part of the Pakaraima Mountains in Guyana, including Mount Wokomung and Mount Ayanganna.
Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park was located in the Guayana Highlands, within Bolívar State of southeastern Venezuela. It was established in 1978. It has been subsumed within Caura National Park, which was established in 2017.
Cerro Jaua is a tepuy in Bolivar State, Venezuela. The mountain, which has a height of 2395 meters, is included in Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park.
