The Mundo Novo tree frog, Hypsiboas marginatus, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil where it is known from the easternmost Rio Grande do Sul and adjacent southeastern Santa Catarina.[2] Its natural habitats are forested mountain slopes near streams with clear running water. The eggs are deposited on vegetation hanging into the water. It is a common species although habitat loss and water pollution are threats.[1]
