}}Plectrohyla sabrina, also known as the Sierra Juarez treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the northern slopes of Sierra de Juárez in northern Oaxaca, Mexico.[1][4] The specific name sabrina is Latin for river nymph and refers to the close association of this species with streams.[2]

Taxonomy

A revision of the family Hylidae from 2016 places this species in the genus Sarcohyla,[6] but this classification is not yet widely adopted[1] and as of late 2016, the Amphibian Species of the World labels it as "provisional".[4] It belongs to the "Plectrohyla bistincta group" with the genus Plectrohyla,[2][4] all of them moved to Sarcohyla in the 2016 revision.[6]

Description

Plectrohyla sabrina is a small, slender-limbed frog. Males measure {{convert|27|-|30|mm|abbr=on}} and females {{convert|34|-|41|mm|abbr=on}} in snout–vent length. The tympanum is absent. The fingers lack webbing whereas the toes are about three-fourths webbed. The dorsum is light chocolate brown with mostly green and some dark brown mottling. There is a dark brown stripe running from nostril along the canthus to back of arm. At night, they might be a bright leaf green. Breeding males do not have nuptial spines.[2]

Habitat and conservation

The natural habitats of this species are cloud forest in the highlands of the Sierra de Juárez at elevations of {{convert|1580|-|2020|m|abbr=on}} above sea level. It occurs along streams in moist and rocky habitats with abundant aquatic vegetation.[1]

Population of Plectrohyla sabrina is declining. It is threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis.[1]
