La Loma Tree Frog
Hyloscirtus colymba
The La Loma tree frog (Hyloscirtus colymba) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Costa Rica, Panama, and expected but not confirmed in Colombia. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland and montane forests, with breeding taking place in streams. It is threatened by habitat loss and chytridiomycosis.
The common name refers to La Loma, its type locality on the trail between Chiriquí Lagoon and Boquete, in the Bocas del Toro Province of Panama.

Description
This attractive, small, green or brown, stream-breeding frog has a faint orange or creamy eye stripe, with occasional dark flecking and webbed fingers and toes. Adult males are 31–37 mm long, while females can be larger, growing up to 39 mm. Adult males have a creamy colored mental gland on the chin, a pale bluish-green throat and a single gular sac, and no nuptial pads. It can be distinguished morphologically from Hyloscirtus palmeri, which lacks the eye stripe, and from Isthmohyla angustilineata, which has a stripe continuing to the groin area and no finger webbing.
