Bokermannohyla pseudopseudis is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and is found in the northern Goiás state and the Federal District.[2][3] It is sometimes known as the Veadeiros waterfall frog[3] or Veadeiros treefrog.[2]

Adult males measure on average 53 mm (2.1 in) and females 50 mm (2.0 in) in snout–vent length. Thus, the species shows male-biased sexual size dimorphism, which is uncommon among frogs. In addition, males have well-developed pre-pollexes and more robust forearms than females.[3]
