Taxonomy [top]

Kingdom	Phylum	Class	Order	Family
ANIMALIA	CHORDATA	AMPHIBIA	ANURA	HYLIDAE

Scientific Name:

Hypsiboas cinerascens

Species Authority:

(Spix, 1824)

Common Name/s:

Spanish

–

Rana Granosa

Synonym/s:

Hyla granosa Boulenger, 1882

Hyla granosa Melin, 1941 ssp. gracilis

Hyla granosa gracilis Melin, 1941

Hyla inornata Lutz, 1973

Taxonomic Notes:

This species was previously within the genus Hyla but has recently been moved to the resurrected genus Hypsiboas (Faivovich, et al., 2005). It was considered a synonym of Hyla granosa by Hoogmoed and Gruber (1983), and an application to the ICZN was made so that Hyla granosa had priority. However this was not achieved and hence H. cinerascens has priority. Much of the literature on this species refers to Hyla granosa. Rivero (1964) noted differences between the northern and southern Venezuelan populations. Two species might be covered by this name.

Assessment Information [top]

Red List Category & Criteria:

Least Concern ver 3.1

Year Published:

2010

Assessor/s:

Claudia Azevedo-Ramos, Enrique La Marca, Luis A. Coloma, Santiago Ron

Reviewer/s:

Global Amphibian Assessment Coordinating Team (Simon Stuart, Janice Chanson, Neil Cox and Bruce Young)

Justification:
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a degree of habitat modification, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.

History:

Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	This species occurs in the Guianas, in the Amazon Basin in Brazil (except in savannah enclaves), Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It is generally found below 500m, but it can be found at up to 1,000m asl.
Countries:	Native: Bolivia; Brazil; Colombia; Ecuador; French Guiana; Guyana; Peru; Suriname; Venezuela

Population [top]

Population:	It is common throughout its range.
Population Trend:	Stable

Habitat and Ecology [top]

Habitat and Ecology:	This nocturnal and arboreal hylid frog is found in natural and secondary tropical rainforests, and in clearings. Males call from leaves on vegetation along watercourses, a few cm above water level. Reproduction takes place in permanent and temporary waterbodies. It is rarely observed far from forest ponds (Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994). In Yasuní National Park, Ecuador, specimens have been found in floodable forests, open areas and Terra Firme Forests (Ron, 2001).
Systems:	Terrestrial; Freshwater
