{{Taxobox | color = pink | name = Ornate chorus frog | image = Pseudacris ornata.jpg | image_width = 240px | regnum = Animalia | phylum = Chordata | classis = Amphibia | ordo = Anura | familia = Hylidae | genus = Pseudacris | species = P. ornata | binomial = Pseudacris ornata | binomial_authority = Holbrook, 1836 }} The ornate chorus frog (Pseudacris ornata) was named and classified by Holbrook, in 1836.
The name of the genus comes from the Greek pseudes (false) and akris (locust), probably a reference to the repeated rasping trill of most Chorus Frogs, which is similar to that of the insect. The species name is from the Latin ornatus (decorated).
