Myersiohyla is a group of frogs in the family Hylidae.[1] Scientists made this group in 2005 after they looked closely at all the frogs in Hylidae. At first, they put four species in Myersiohyla. All four had been in the group Hyla before 2005.[2] The genus is found in the tepui region of Guyana and Venezuela.[1]
