Southeastern and south-central Arkansas Gray tree frog: Dryophytes versicolor (Le Conte, 1825) Apparently secure [10] Usually indistinguishable from Dryophytes chrysoscelis without DNA analysis or analysis of mating call [7] Sometimes put in the genus Hyla: Northwestern Arkansas Spring peeper: Pseudacris crucifer (Wied-Neuwied, 1838) Secure [11]
