Sarcohyla cembra, also known as the Southern Sierra Madre treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae.[3] It is endemic to Mexico. Until recently, it was only known from two male specimens: one from its type locality on the Pacific slopes of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains, Pochutla District, Oaxaca, and another one from Sierra de Yucuyacua south-east of Llano de Guadalupe, in north-west Oaxaca.[1][3][4] The two locations are about 172 km (107 mi) apart.[4] After having not been seen after 1993, it was feared that the species might be extinct.[1] However, the species was rediscovered in field surveys in 2011–2012, extending its range with a new locality about 10 km north of the type locality.[5]
