Dendropsophus haddadi is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil, with its distribution ranging from northern Espírito Santo to Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco.[3] The specific name haddadi honors Célio F. B. Haddad, a Brazilian ecologist and herpetologist.[2][4]

Habitat and conservation
[edit]Dendropsophus haddadi occurs in coastal rainforest and in scrubby coastal "restinga" vegetation, as well as in gardens, farmland, and towns, at elevations below 650 m (2,130 ft). It breeds in permanent bonds and can be spotted on vegetation around these. It is a common and very adaptable species that is not facing any threats. It is present in many protected areas.[1]
