Lili tree frog (Myersiohyla liliae) is a frog. It lives in Guyana. Scientists have seen it in exactly one place: Kaieteur National Park, 400 meters above sea level.[3][1][2]
The adult male frog is 32.5-37.1 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin on the frog's back is bright green during the day. The frog can change color. The skin on its back is green-brown at night. The belly is blue. The iris of the eye is silver in color and bronze in color at night.[4]
The scientists who wrote the first paper about this frog, Philippe Kok, named it after his daughter, Lili Kok.[4]
