2 species (see text) Xenohyla is a genus of tree frogs in the family Hylidae that is endemic to xeric habitats of coastal Brazil, with Xenohyla eugenioi native to the State of Bahia[1] and the State of Sergipe,[2] and Xenohyla truncata native to the State of Rio de Janeiro.

[2] They are associated with bromeliads, where they hide during the day and eat the insects that also inhabit the plant.

Both species are orange or brown with a white stripe going down their dorsal edges.

It locates fruit and swallows it whole, and is known to defecate out viable seeds that help in the spread of the plant.

Xenohyla truncata means "strange truncated tree frog" after the shape of its body.
