Hyliidae is a family of passerine birds which contains just two species, the green hylia (Hylia prasina) and the tit hylia (Pholidornis rushiae).Physiological similarities and molecular phylogenetic studies strongly support the creation of this family.
The diet of Cope's gray treefrog primarily consists of insects such as moths, mites, spiders, plant lice, and harvestmen. Snails have also been observed as a food source. Like most frogs, Dryophytes chrysocelis is an opportunistic feeder and may also eat smaller frogs, including other treefrogs. [24]

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 ...
As of March 2024, out over 50000 Hyloidea frogs represented on the IUCN Red List, 3866 were listed as critically endangered (4.5%), 5910 as endangered (6.8%), and 6774 as vulnerable (7.8%). However, there is still a great deal of the frogs, about 49000, that are considered as 'Least concern' and not being threatened.
