}}The blacksmith tree frog, blacksmith treefrog, or smith frog (Hypsiboas faber or Boana faber) is a frog species in the family Hylidae. It is found in northeastern Argentina (Misiones Province), southeastern Paraguay, and eastern to southern Brazil.[1][ Its natural habitats are tropical humid forests, including forest edges, at elevations of {{convert|150|–|800|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. Breeding takes place in temporary and permanent pools (including artificial pools) and slow-moving streams where the frogs make nests.[1]]
This is an abundant species throughout its range. Clear cutting of forests remains a threat, whereas the species adapts to selectively logged and second growth forests. It is present in several protected areas. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.[1]
