The Mexican burrowing tree frog (Smilisca), also known as the cross-banded tree frog, is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae found in Mexico, southern Texas and Arizona, Central America, and northwestern South America. In a recent revision of the Hylidae, the two species of the previous genus Pternohyla were included in this genus.[1] Its name is from the Ancient Greek smiliskos (‘little knife’), referring to the pointed frontoparietal processes.[2]
