Dendropsophus shiwiarum is a frog in the family Hylidae.

On the back, its skin is light brown or yellow with tiny red spots.

[2] This frog lays eggs whenever the weather is wet enough, in temporary bodies of water.

[2] The name "shiwarum" comes from the Shiwiar people who live in some of the same parts of the Amazon Basin as the frog.

They helped herpetologists find the frog and so they could formally describe it.
