Description
The Mediterranean tree frog or stripeless tree frog (Hyla meridionalis) is a species of frog found in Europe. It resembles the European tree frog (H. arborea), but is larger (some females are up to 65 millimetres (2.6Â in) long), has longer hind legs, and the flank stripe only reaches to the front legs (often starting at the eyes, not at the nostrils). The croaking resembles that of H. arborea, but it is deeper and slower.
