Boesman's snouted tree frog (Scinax boesemani) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Guyana, French Guiana, and Venezuela.[3][1][2]

The adult male frog is 28 to 31 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 32 mm long. The skin on its back is dark brown with lighter brown spots and white spots. This frog can change color: It can be orange in color during the day. There is a dark line from its nose to behind its ear. Its belly is white. Its throat is whitish or yellow. Scientists think it looks like Scinax ruber but it does not have the yellow or orange spots on its legs.[1]

Scientists have seen this frog near large streams in places without many trees.[1]
