Ololygon alcatraz is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Ilha dos Alcatrazes, an island off the coast of São Paulo state, Brazil.[1][2] Common name Alcatraz snouted Treefrog has been coined for it.[2]
Ololygon alcatraz occurs in primary and secondary forest as well as degraded forest.[1] It completes its entire life cycle (including tadpoles) in bromeliads.[3]
The range of this species is very small, and it is threatened by touristic activities and fire.[1]
