Bokermannohyla nanuzae is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and known from the Serra do Espinhaço and Serra da Mantiqueira in the Minas Gerais state. [1] [2]
The specific name nanuzae honours Nanuza Luiza de Menezes , one of Brazil's most important botanists. [3]
Bokermannohyla nanuzae is a common species that occurs on vegetation near streams in gallery forests at elevations of 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level and higher. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by mining, fires, and infrastructure development for human settlement. Also disturbance by tourists is a threat. It occurs in the Serra do Cipó National Park.
