The common names of "colored leaf frog" and "monkey frog" have been used to refer to this type of frog.
==Ecology and conservation== Phrynomedusa occur in mountain streams and associated ponds in the Atlantic Forest. Egg clutches are laid outside of the water in rock crevices above the water; the tadpoles develop in the water.
