It is found in Brazil, the Guyanas (Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname), Venezuela and Colombia. Introduced populations exist on Guadeloupe and two nearby smaller islands, Marie Galante and La Désirade, and on Martinique. It may represent more than one species.
Scinax x-signatus is a very common frog inhabiting tropical savannas, forest edges, and open areas, and is very adaptable to habitat modification. It is considered an invasive species on Guadeloupe, threatening native frogs through competition. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Venezuela Snouted Tree Frog is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Fortaleza (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
