Phyllodytes punctatus is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil.
[1] The adult frog measures about 18.2-22.8 mm long in snout-vent length.
[4] Scientists list this frog as endangered because of its small remaining range, only 1,044 km2, which is still in some danger from urbanization and livestock cultivation.
There is also some danger from harvesting of the bromeliad plants on which the frogs live, but this is limited in scope.
Scientists have only seen this frog in natural habitats, and not in disturbed areas such as farms or gardens.
