Phyllodytes maculosus is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil's rainforests.

Furthermore, some of the farms and grazing areas have been converted to silviculture, in which some frogs can live.

[1] This frog lives in arboreal bromeliad plants high in the rainforest canopy.

The female frog lays small clutches of eggs on the leaves of the bromeliad plants.

When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water that collects in the axil, where they swim and develop.
