Different frog-bromeliad associations are frequently reported from various habitats of Central and South America. Here, we present the first data on the association of two hylid species (Dendropsophus nanus and Scinax nasicus) with the bromeliad Bromelia balansae in the Brazilian Pantanal. Both treefrog species use rosettes of B. balansae as a diurnal shelter and foraging ground.
