The
genus '''Hyla''' is one of approximately 38 genera in the
New World family of
tree frogs (
Hylidae). The word ''Hyla'' translates to "tree," and tree frogs are indeed
arboreal. They have a very broad distribution; species can be found in
Europe,
Asia,
Africa, and across the
Americas.
There were more than 300 described species in this genus, but after a major revision of the Hylidae family most of these have been moved to new genera so the genus now only contains 32 species.
