Abstract

We describe the tadpole of the recently described hylid frog Hyla xera and report information regarding the distribution and natural history of this species endemic to the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley in Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. This species was previously known only from the type locality near Zapotitlán Salinas, Puebla, south of Tehuacan, Puebla. With our work, its range is now extended, adding 6 localities in Puebla and 4 in Oaxaca. Adults take refuge in arboreal bromeliads and breed in streams in the rainy season from May to August.
