Hyloidea is a superfamily of frogs.[1] Hyloidea accounts for 54% of all living anuran species.[2] The superfamily Hyloidea branched off from its closest relative, the Australobatrachia, during the mid-Cretaceous.[3] The fossil evidence found during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event could not determine the effects upon the frogs, due to the lack of fossils. Increased forestation erupted after this extinction, possibly leading to more arboreal adaptations of these anurans to be best suited for this habitat.[4]
