Source-derived summary

Scarthyla is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae. Species of the genus are found in the upper Amazon Basin of Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil and northward through Colombia and Venezuela to the Caribbean lowlands. They are sometimes known commonly as Madre de Dios treefrogs and South American aquatic treefrogs. They are semiaquatic.

Editorial summary

“Scarthyla” enters the record as genus of amphibians. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Scarthyla, genus and amphibians can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 54-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Scarthyla, genus and amphibians.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Scarthyla” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Scarthyla, genus and amphibians provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1654292. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
