Bocourt's tree frog (Dryophytes bocourti), or Bocourt's treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae endemic to Guatemala and found on the mountains of the southern Alta Verapaz Department and Baja Verapaz Department.[1][2] It is named after Marie Firmin Bocourt, a French zoologist and artist.[3]
Bocourt's tree frogs have been found in open, grassy meadows that are flooded during the early part of the rainy season, as well as under sheaths of banana plants and in a bromeliad. They appear to tolerate some habitat disturbance. They breed in temporary pools.[1]
The species seems to have undergone a serious decline. This is attributed to pesticide pollution from the ornamental plant industry and, possibly, to chytridiomycosis.[1]
