Tlalocohyla is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae,[2][3] also known as rain treefrogs or Middle American yellow-bellied treefrogs. They occur in Middle America between Mexico and Costa Rica.[2] This genus was created in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae. The four species in this genus were previously placed in the genus Hyla.[1]
