Boana rhythmica is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is endemic to Venezuela and only known from its type locality, Cerro Jaua in Bolívar State.[2] It occurs along streams on the slopes of the tepui. It is a nocturnal species found on branches of vegetation 0.3–1 m (1–3 ft) above the ground. The tepui is within the Jaua-Sarisariñama National Park, and changes in long term temperature and humidity trends due to climate change are the primary threat to this species.[1]
