The tadpole of Plectrohyla arborescandens is described. This tadpole resembles other Plectrohyla by having labial tooth row formula 2(2)/3 and large submarginal papillae. Plectrohyla arborescandens differs from the other species of Plectrohyla with overlapping distributions and known larvae, by having uniserial marginal papillae surrounding the oral disc. We suggest that the tadpole of Plectrohyla cyclada is the one presently assigned to Plectrohyla sabrina.
