It is a tree frog of large size; rhom- boid pupils and pigmentation in the palpebral membrane; webbing on fingers and toes, males have a prepolic spine; by day the dorsal color is generally paler than at night; lateral surfaces of the back are grayish bronze with vertical dark brown lines; posterior sur- faces of the thighs are brown to gray with vertical lines of pale brown. A total of 30 individuals were found and were observed over leaves of trees close to water bod- ies in Station 5, in cultivated fields, grasses with relicts of wet forests at elevations between 290– 350 m. Boana boans occurs in the lower Amazon Basin, upper Ori- noco and Magdalena Basins, Guianas, Colombia and Ecuador in South America; eastern Panama; Trinidad ( Frost 2019).
