Most of the male frogs in this genus are long from nose to rear end and females . But the former "Exerodonta" species, "Charadrahyla juanitae" and "Charadrahyla pinorum", are much smaller, with males and females . Most species have a brownish skin on their backs with large spots (exception is "Charadrahyla altipotens").
