Open encyclopedia reference
Bokermannohyla itapoty is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. It is closely related to Bokermannohyla alvarengai. The specific name itapoty refers to the dorsal coloration that gives this frog a lichen-like resemblance. The name is derived from the Tupi–Guarani words itá (="rock") and poty (= "to flower" or "to flourish"), meaning lichen or moss.
