Charadrahyla pinorum
species of amphibian
Charadrahyla pinorum is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Pacific slopes of Sierra Madre del Sur between central Guerrero and southwestern and central Oaxaca, Mexico. Common names pine wood treefrog and Mexican pine woods treefrog have been proposed for it. Its closest relative is probably Charadrahyla juanitae.
Description
Adult males measure 29–33 mm (1.1–1.3 in) and adult females, based on a single specimen only, 35 mm (1.4 in) in snout–vent length; both Charadrahyla pinorum and Charadrahyla juanitae are small in comparison to other Charadrahyla . The snout in males is rounded in dorsal profile and truncate to rounded in lateral profile. The tympanum is not visible. Adult males have vocal slits. Coloration typically includes conspicuous orange to salmon flash colors, but may occasionally be just gray. Chocolate brown to black middorsal stripe is either complete or entirely absent.
The public source identifies “Charadrahyla pinorum” as species of amphibian. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Charadrahyla, pinorum and species.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Charadrahyla pinorum”, the useful work is to connect “species of amphibian” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q131554501. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
