xenohyla is a genus of tree frogs in the family hylidae. they live in deserts and other dry places in the middle of brazil, not far from the atlantic ocean. "xenohyla eugenioi" lives in the state of bahia and the state of sergipe, and "xenohyla truncata" lives in the state of rio de janeiro. these frogs have strong bodies, wide flat heads, short faces, short front legs, and a body that looks short from above. they live near bromeliad plants, where they hide during the day. they eat the insects that also live in the plant. they lay eggs in temporary pools of water that are formed by rainwater. both species are orange or brown with a white stripe down the edges of their backs. "x. truncata" loses this stripe when it becomes an adult but "x. eugenioi" keeps it as an adult.
