Hyloscirtus Elbakyanae
''Hyloscirtus'' is a genus of Neotropical frogs in the family Hylidae. This genus was resurrected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae, with the distinguishing features being 56 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. Of these species, 28 species, previously placed in the genus ''Hyla'', were moved to this genus. The fingers and toes of these frogs have wide dermal fringes. They are primarily found in foothill and mountain forests in the Andes, ranging from Bolivia to Venezuela, but a few species occur in adjacent lowlands or ''páramo'', and two (''Hyloscirtus colymba, H. colymba'' and ''Hyloscirtus palmeri, H. palmeri'') are found in Panama and Costa Rica. They are typically found near streams where they breed. Several species in this genus are seriously threatened by habitat loss, pollution, introduced species (predation by introduced trout), and the chytrid fungus ''Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis''.

Chytrid Fungus
Chytridiomycota are a division of zoosporic organisms in the kingdom Fungi, informally known as chytrids. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek ('), meaning "little pot", describing the structure containing unreleased zoospores. Chytrids are one of the earliest diverging fungal lineages, and their membership in kingdom Fungi is demonstrated with chitin cell walls, a posterior whiplash flagellum, absorptive nutrition, use of glycogen as an energy storage compound, and synthesis of lysine by the -amino adipic acid (AAA) pathway. Chytrids are saprobic, degrading refractory materials such as chitin and keratin, and sometimes act as parasites. There has been a significant increase in the research of chytrids since the discovery of '' Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis'', the causal agent of chytridiomycosis. Classification Species of Chytridiomycota have traditionally been delineated and classified based on development, morphology, substrate, and method of zoospore discharge. Ho ...

Hyloscirtus Conscientia
''Hyloscirtus conscientia'', the Chical nubulous stream frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It was described in 2021 and is named after the cloud forests near the small town of El Chical in Ecuador, where the species was found. It is a small, slender species of frog, with adult males having a snout–vent length of 29.6–33.3 mm and adult females having a snout–vent length of 34.7–40 mm.
