Hyloscirtus is a genus of relatively large Neotropical frogs in the Hylidae family. This genus was resurrected in 2005 following a major revision of the Hylidae family, with the distinguishing features being 56 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. Of these species, 28 species, previously placed in the Hyla genus, were moved to this genus. The fingers and toes of these frogs have wide dermal fringes.
