Comment

In the Hyla circumdata group. Removed from the synonymy of Hyla crepitans by Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 68, where it had been placed by Cochran, 1955 "1954", Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 206: 66, and Cochran and Goin, 1970, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 288: 193. See account by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 259-261.

In the Bokermannohyla circumdata group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 82-83.
