Lysapsus is a genus of frogs in the family Hylidae found in South America east of the Andes. Their common name is harlequin frogs.[1]
Species

There are four species:[1][2]

Lysapsus bolivianus (Gallardo, 1961)
Lysapsus caraya Gallardo, 1964
Lysapsus laevis (Parker, 1935)
Lysapsus limellum Cope, 1862

The status of Lysapsus bolivianus is unclear; it might be a subspecies of Lysapsus limellum.[3]
