Ololygon agilis ( synonyms : Scinax agilis , Hyla agilis Cruz & Peixoto, 1983) is a neotropical frog from the subfamily of the knuckle-toe tree frogs withinthe tree frog family . According to Faivovich et al. (2005) the species was countedwithin the genus Scinax to the Scinax catharinae clade. This clade was later raisedto the genus Ololygon .

description

This relatively small knee-toed tree frog has a white lateral stripe that extends from the head to the hind legs, and above this stripe a brown stripe. The head makes up about a third of the head-trunk length. From the dorsal point of view the snout is triangular and from the lateral point of view it is somewhat pointed.

distribution

This species , endemic to eastern Brazil, occurs along the coast of the two states of Espírito Santo and Bahia . Ololygon agilis is a lowland species that only grows up to about 30 m above sea level. NN rises.

Habitat and Ecology

Ololygon agilis lives in bromeliads in the coastal rainforest , bushes of the Restinga vegetation and open land near the coast. It uses temporary water for reproduction.

Danger

The IUCN lists Scinax agilis as " Least Concern ". Its widespread distribution and the fact that it can adapt to anthropogenic habitat changes to a certain extent, that the total population shows a stable trend and is estimated to be sufficiently large, explain this. The processors consider it unlikely that stocks of the species can decline quickly enough to justify a higher endangerment level. Scinax agilis occurs in at least three protected areas: Reserva Biológica de Sooretama, Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Estação Veracruz and Reserva Florestal da CVRD The main endangerment areas are likely to be habitat loss through agriculture, livestock farming, deforestation, settlement construction, tourism and the collection of bromeliads.
