[ 2 ] It is sometimes referred to as the eastern gray treefrog , northern gray treefrog , [ 3 ] common gray treefrog , or tetraploid gray treefrog to distinguish it from its more ...
Hyla is a genus of frogs in the tree frog family Hylidae. As traditionally defined, it was a wastebasket genus with more than 300 species found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. After a major revision of the family, most of these have been moved to other genera so that Hyla now only contains 17 extant (living) species from ...
Later it was placed into the genus Hyla, the true tree frogs, by Boulenger in 1882. [4] Fouquette and Dubois 2014, treated Dryophytes as a subgenus of Hyla. [4] Dryophytes was finally resurrected as an independent genus by Duellman et al. in 2016. [1] [4] [5] [6] Only geographical, rather than morphological, differences separates Dryophytes ...

Both D. chrysoscelis and D. versicolor have black-marked bright orange to yellow patches on their hind legs, which distinguishes them from other treefrogs, such as D. avivoca. [3] The bright-yellow pattern is normally hidden, but exposed when the frog leaps. This "flash pattern" likely serves to startle a predator as the frog makes its escape. [6]
