The speckled tree frog (Sarcohyla psarosema) is a frog that lives in Mexico. Scientists have seen it in only one place: a cloud forest 2103 meters above sea level in the Sierra Mixes in Oaxaca.[3][1]

This frog is brown in color on the back, with white spots. The adult male frog is 31.4 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 37.3 cm long. The adult male frog has very muscular front legs.[1]
