Cruziohyla calcarifer, the splendid leaf frog or splendid treefrog, is a tree frog of the family Phyllomedusidae described in 1902 by George Albert Boulenger.

It is a nocturnal, arboreal frog inhabiting primary humid lowland forest.
Genetic studies
Cruziohyla calcarifer is the most divergent Cruziohyla species. DNA analysis places Cruziohyla sylviae genetically closer to its sister species, Cruziohyla craspedopus, than to the true Cruziohyla calcarifer described by George A. Boulenger in 1902.[2]
