Hyla dendroscarta Taylor, 1940 The greater bromeliad tree frog (Bromeliohyla dendroscarta) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to the mountains of central Veracruz and northern Oaxaca, Mexico.

[2] The adult frog measures about 35 mm in snout-vent length.

[3] The tadpoles have only been observed eating detritus, such as dead insects that fall into the water in the bromeliad plants.

[3] Bromeliohyla dendroscarta inhabits cloud forests where it breeds and takes refuge in bromeliads.

While habitat loss may have contributed to the decline of this species, the main reason probably was chytridiomycosis.
