Phyllomedusa tetraploidea
Of the Leaf Frogs that occur in Paraguay there is only this species that you will find in humid forests. It is a rare species, only recently confirmed for Paraguay in Departamento Itapúa. Living as it does in one of the most populated and threatened areas of the country it is highly likely that the species faces a serious conservation threat in Paraguay.
