Scinax

"Snouted treefrog" redirects here. For the frog found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, see Tarauaca snouted treefrog.

Scinax is a genus of frogs (snouted treefrogs) in the family Hylidae found in eastern and southern Mexico to Argentina and Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Lucia. These are small to moderate-sized tree frogs, drably colored. Duellman and Wiens resurrected this genus in 1992. The name originates from the Greek word skinos, meaning quick or nimble.
