Description
Male Hylorina sylvatica grow to snout-vent length of 53–56 mm (2.1–2.2 in) and females to 60–66 mm (2.4–2.6 in). They are emerald-green during the day while they turn dark green at night.[4] Adults can be found in permanent and temporary pools, swamps, and marshes. Larvae are aquatic and found in pools and ponds.[1]
Conservation status
While Hylorina sylvatica is uncommon and threatened by habitat loss (due to, e.g., logging), IUCN classifies it as of "Least Concern" in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and slow rate of decline.[1]
