LESSER SNOUTED TREE-FROG Scinax nasicus
A medium-sized Scinax with a distinctive bracketed dorsal pattern. This is the smaller of the two "bathroom tree-frogs" that are commonly found in houses, the other species being Scinax fuscovarius. Note the quite different pattern of the hind leg, it being heavily and boldly marked with yellow in S.fuscovarius.
