==Taxonomy== The genus was established based on molecular data in a revision of the subfamily Hylinae by Julián Faivovich and colleagues in 2018. In order to obtain a monophyletic Ptychohyla, Faivovich and colleagues moved two former Ptychohyla species to Atlantihyla and four former Ptychohyla species to Quilticohyla. Atlantihyla has a sister group relationship to a poorly-supported clade that includes Bromeliohyla, Duellmanohyla, and Quilticohyla. A third Atlantihyla species was described in 2020.
