The white-speckled tree frog (Hyloscirtus albopunctulatus) is a frog. It lives in Ecuador, Peru, and part of Colombia.[2][1][3]

The adult male frog is about 33 mm long from nose to rear end. This frog is green or red-brown with small dark marks and small white spots. The iris of the eye is white with red lines.[1]

This frog hides during the day and moves around at night. Scientists think it hides in bromeliad plants. The male frog sings for the female frog from under rocks or near arroyos.[1]

The Latin name of this frog means "white spots on its sides."[1]
