Scinax rossaferesae is a frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Brazil and has been observed in the Guartelá Canyon area.[1][2]
The adult male frog measures 27.8 to 31.6 mm in snout-vent length. The iris of its eye is gold or yellow in color. Parts of its legs are light brown.[3]
The scientists who initially described this frog named it after their colleagues Dr. Denise Rossa-Feres, zoologist.[3]
