Plectrohyla hartwegi is a treefrog in the family Hylidae (order Anura), recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The type series consisted of three specimens, an adult male (holotype) measuring 64 mm (2.5 in) in snout–vent length (SVL), and two subadult males measuring 42 and 48 mm (1.7 and 1.9 in) SVL. The head is slightly wider than long and as wide as the body. The snout is short. The dorsal coloration varies is dull olive-brown, olive-green, or pale green.
Based on further specimens, adult males reach 76 mm (3.0 in) SVL and females 77 mm (3.0 in) SVL.

It is found in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and eastern Oaxaca in Mexico, Sierra de los Cuchumatanes in western Guatemala as well as Sierra de las Minas in eastern Guatemala, and Sierra de Omoa in southwestern Honduras.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
