Bokermannohyla izecksohni, also known as Izecksohn's treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to São Paulo state, Brazil.[1][2] It was already considered possibly extinct in 2004, but three living frogs were discovered in 2005–2006.[3] It is a medium-sized treefrog, measuring about Script error: No such module "convert". in snout–vent length.[3]

Etymology

The specific name izecksohni honours Eugênio Izecksohn, a Brazilian herpetologist.[4]

Habitat and conservation

Bokermannohyla izecksohni occurs in forests near streams[1][3] at elevations of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.[3] Breeding takes place in temporary ponds. It is threatened by habitat loss: the type locality has already been destroyed by agriculture and human settlement.[1] However, the discovery of two new populations in 2005–2006 suggested that it is not quite as threatened as previously feared; one of them is in the Serra do Mar State Park[3] where it has already been recorded later.[5]
