Boana exastis is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to the Northeast Region of Brazil and has been recorded from Bahia, Alagoas, and Pernambuco.[1]
Boana exastis occurs in the Atlantic forest domain[2][3] at elevations of 100–490 m (330–1,610 ft) above sea level.[3] Records have been made in primary forest with large trees and an abundance of epiphytes, adjacent to and in a forest edge, and cocoa plantations adjacent to the forest.[2][3] Breeding presumably takes place in temporary pools or permanent streams. Threats to this species are unknown; its ability to persist in modified habitats such as cocoa plantations remains to be seen.[2]
