Scinax

***Scinax*** is a genus of frogs (**snouted treefrogs**) in the family Hylidae. These frogs live in eastern and southern Mexico to Argentina and Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Lucia. These are small to medium-sized tree frogs. Duellman and Wiens brought this genus back into use in 1992. The name originates from the Greek word _skinos_, meaning fast-moving or nimble.
