Corythomantis
Corythomantis is a group of frogs in the family Hylidae. They live in northeastern Brazil. There was only one species in the group until 2012. Then scientists wrote about another species, Corythomantis galeata. Later, that frog was moved to the genus Nyctimantis.[1] These frogs are also called "Greening's frogs."[2]
