Megastomatohyla
Megastomatohyla
Genus of amphibians
Megastomatohyla is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. They are endemic to the cloud forests of central Veracruz and Oaxaca, Mexico.[2] All are rare species with restricted distributions.[3] The generic name is derived from Greek mega (="large") and stem of the genitive stomatos (="mouth"), referring to the enlarged oral disc of the tadpoles, juxtaposed with Hyla, the genus in which the four Megastomatohyla species were previously placed.[1] Common name large-mouthed treefrogs has been coined for this genus.[2]
