Phyllodytes praeceptor is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to coastal areas in the state of Bahia in Brazil.

[2][3][1] The adult male frog measures 20.7–25.8 mm in snout-vent length.

The female frog lays eggs on the leaves and the tadpoles swim in the water that collects near the axil.

Farmers often grow cacao under thinned forest that provide natural shade for the cacao plants, and the frogs have been found in these farms as well, another reason why their population is stable.

Scientists believe collection of the bromeliad plants might pose some risk to this frog if it were to happen, but they note that this does not seem to be the case as of 2021.
