Tepuihyla shushupe is a frog in the family Hylidae. Scientists know it exclusively from its site of collection, the headwaters of the rivers Ere and Campuya near the Colombian border within Peru. They collected the sample 145 meters above sea level.[3][1][2]
The adult male frog measures about 85.4 mm long in snout-vent length and the adult female frog about 85.7 mm. The iris of the eye is whitish in color with red around the outside. The skin of the dorsum is light green and the ventrum yellow-green. The skin is granular, with dark brown color on the back of each granule. Parts of the legs are whitish in color and parts are yellow-green. This frog has fringed skin on all four legs.[4]
