Tree frog genera are the genera of the family Hylidae, an extremely large and diverse family of tree frogs that Animal Diversity Web puts at four subfamilies, approximately 38 genera and more than 700 species. Hylids occur throughout temperate North America and the neotropics, are prevalent in Australia and Papua New Guinea, and have one known synapomorphy, claw-shaped terminal phalanges. GBIF is led by Dendropsophus with about 228 descendant taxa, Boana with about 222, Scinax with about 115, Osteocephalus with about 73 and Ololygon with about 61.
