Bokermannohyla flavopicta is a frog in the family Hylidae endemic to southeastern Brazil. Scientists have seen it exclusively over 1500 meters above sea level.[1][2]

The adult male frog measures 51.9–65.3 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female frog 60.2–61.6 mm. The skin on the dorsum has a gray or brown background with darker brown irregular marks. It has small yellow spots on its lips, face, flanks, front and hind legs, front and hind feet, and cloacal area.[3]
