Celsiella is a small genus of glass frogs endemic to Venezuela.[2] It was established in 2009 and named in honour of Josefa Celsa Señaris, nicknamed "Celsi", a Venezuelan herpetologist who had worked with glass frogs.[1]
The ventral parietal peritoneum is white anteriorly and transparent posteriorly. The bones are pale green or green.[1]
Male Celsiella call from, and females deposit their eggs on the underside or upper side of leaves. Tentative evidence suggests that males guard their eggs.[1]
