Scinax castroviejoi is a species of frog in the Hylidae family. It is found in valleys of the Eastern Andes in southern Bolivia, and controversially, in Argentina.[1][2] Its type locality is Volcán Lake.[2] It is similar to Scinax fuscovarius but differs in call characteristics.[1][2]
Its natural habitats are open areas in inter-Andean valleys, montane Tucumano-Bolivian forest, and Yungas forest. It is a locally common, arboreal species. It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
