Outline:

Hyla Squirella

Classification-

Subgenus- Dryophytes,

Family: Hylidae 

Subfamily: Hylinae

Chromatic sexual dimorphism not limited to throat coloration was reported, in which males are unpatterned and bright orange where females are mottled brown with red spots. Males change color to black while calling and non calling males and females stay brown. females have a darker pattern than males. Light colored stripe on upper jaw and laterally on the abdomen ranging in color from what to yellow. the vocal sack in males gets darker during mating season and females stay the same. stripe size may be sex linked. The labial and lateral stripes of The Hyla Squirella are a result of differential distribution and expression of xanthophores and iridophores. they are hereditary

Final draft-

The Hyla Squirella has chromatic sexual dimorphism not limited to throat coloration, in which males are unpatterned and bright orange where females are mottled brown with red spots. Males change their color from brown to black while calling but non calling males and females stay brown. Females have a darker pattern than males. The Hyla Squirella has light colored stripe on the upper jaw and laterally on the abdomen both ranging in color from white to yellow. The vocal sack in males gets darker during mating season but females stay the same. Stripe size may be sex linked. The labial and lateral stripes of the Hyla Squirella are a result of differential distribution and expression of xanthophores and iridophores and they are hereditary.
