  • Plectrohyla hazelae is a species of frog in the family Hylidae.
    It is endemic to Mexico.
    Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. Scientists have seen it in pine-oak forests, in cloud forests, and in other mountain forests. It has been observed between 1,461 and 2,128 meters above sea level.
    This frog is vulnerable to extinction for a few reasons. The fungal disease chytridiomycosis can kill this frog. There is also some habitat loss from logging and drainage of the streams in which the tadpoles develop.
