Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Scinax by Duellman, Marion, and Hedges, 2016, Zootaxa, 4104: 25, where it was placed by Pombal and Gordo, 1991, Mem. Inst. Butantan, São Paulo, 53: 139 (who considered this taxon to be in Hyla), and Duellman and Wiens, 1992, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 151: 1. The former Scinax catherinae group of Faivovich, 2002, Cladistics, 18: 367–393. Nogueira, Solé, Siqueira, Affonso, Strüssmann, and Sampaio, 2016, Genet. Mol. Biol., 39: 49–53, detected an unnamed species in this group in the Chapada dos Guimarães, central Brazil. Peixoto, Guimarães, Lacerda, Leal, Rocha, and Feio, 2016, Acta Herpetol., Firenze, 11: 53–57, reported on vocal synapomorphies of the Scinax v-signatus group.
