Yep. Go to the CITES website and you can read the full proposal which includes the reasoning behind the inclusion of the entire genus Agalychnis. Since callidryus is LC there must be sufficient concern for it's well being to put tight controls into place on it's exportation. At any rate, I hope they are icluded to try and stop poaching as much as possible.

Agalychnis callidryas is not in trouble, the convention appears to be trying to prevent them from becoming so.
