Hyla
Hyla is a genus of frogs in the tree frog family Hylidae. As traditionally defined, it was a wastebasket genus with more than 300 species found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and across the Americas. After a major revision of the family, most of these have been moved to other genera so that Hyla now only contains 17 extant (living) species from Europe, northern Africa and Asia. The earliest known fossil member of this genus is †Hyla swanstoni from the Eocene of Saskatchewan, Canada, but its designation to Hyla happened before the major revision, meaning that its position needs confirmation.

雨蛙属（学名：Hyla）是一个在新、旧世界均普及广泛的无尾目樹蟾科中的一个属。其主要分布地区是南北美洲，在非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南则没有这个属的动物，在那里有生活方式类似的苇蛙科和樹蛙科。 雨蛙体长3～4厘米，上颚有齿，有趾有蹼，趾蹼发达，趾末端有吸盘，使得它们能够攀爬。舌长，可以自由活动。雄蛙咽下有外声囊，在雨天的时候，叫声特别响亮。夜晚在树叶和灌木丛中活动，吃蜘蛛和昆虫。 2005年对樹蟾科的分类进行彻底更改后雨蛙属从300多个种只剩下了约35个种[1]。 参考文献 ^ Faivovich, J.; Haddad, C.F.B.; Garcia, P.C.A.; Frost, D.R.; Campbell, J.A.; Wheeler, W.C.: Systematic review of the frog family Hylidae: Phylogenetic analysis and taxonomic revision.

The genus was established by Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti in 1768. It was named after Hylas in Greek mythology, the companion of Hercules. The name is unusual in that – though Laurenti knew that Hylas was male – the name is unambiguously treated in the feminine grammatical gender for reasons unknown. The etymology of the name is also often incorrectly given as being derived from the Greek word ('', "forest" or "wood").
