The Panama cross-banded tree frog or pug-nosed tree frog (Smilisca sila) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in the humid Pacific lowlands of southwestern Costa Rica to eastern Panama and in the Caribbean lowlands of Panama and northern Colombia.[2][3][4][5] Males of the species utilize synchronous calling to hide their position from predators.[6][7][8][9] Females create basins during amplexus and deposit fertilized eggs onto the surface of the water.[10][11]
