Members of this genus were formerly classified in the genus Ptychohyla, but the new genus Quilticohyla was coined for them in 2018 after this classification was found to be paraphyletic. The genus name originates from the Nahuatl word quiltic, meaning "green", which refers to the green coloration of these frogs. Quilticohyla is thought to be the sister genus to Bromeliohyla.[1]
The genus has 4 recognized species:[2]
| Binomial name and author | Common name |
|---|---|
| Quilticohyla acrochorda (Campbell and Duellman, 2000) | warty mountain stream frog |
| Quilticohyla erythromma (Taylor, 1937) | Guerreran stream frog |
| Quilticohyla sanctaecrucis (Campbell and Smith, 1992) | Chinamococh stream frog |
| Quilticohyla zoque (Canseco-Márquez, Aguilar-López, Luría-Manzano, Pineda-Arredondo, and Caviedes-Solis, 2017) | Zoque treefrog |
