Comment

For discussion see Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 164. In the Scinax ruber clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96. See Klappenbach and Langone, 1992, An. Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Montevideo, Ser. 2, 8: 183, for discussion of confusion surrounding the synonymy of Hyla lindneri. Langone, 1992, Bol. Asoc. Herpetol. Argentina, 8: 5–6, discussed the status of Hyla madeira Bokermann, 1966, Hyla lindneri Müller and Hellmich, 1936, and Hyla parkeri Gaige, 1929 (all three now junior synonyms of Scinax fuscomarginatus); Scinax trilineatus (Hoogmoed and Gorzula, 1979); and Hyla robersimoni Donoso-Barros, 1966. See comment under Scinax parkeri with which many records may be confused. See De la Riva, Márquez, and Bosch, 1994, Bijdr. Dierkd., 64: 75–85, for advertisement call of nominal Scinax nebulosa and discussed the issue of its synonymy with Scinax egleri.  Pombal, Bastos, and Haddad, 1995, Naturalia, São Paulo, 20: 213–225, reported on the advertisement call. See comment under Scinax trilineata, a possible synonym. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 11, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Leite, Sampaio, Silva-Leite, Toledo, Loebmann, and Leite, 2008, Check List, 4: 475–477, discussed the range and provided new records from northeastern Brazil. Annunziata, Castro, and Fontenele, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 110, provided a record from Piauí, northeastern Brazil. Hyla parkeri Gaige, 1929, had been removed from the synonymy of Scinax fuscomarginatus by Duellman and Wiens, 1992, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 151: 23, and De la Riva, Márquez, and Bosch, 1997, Bonn. Zool. Beitr., 47: 182, where it had been placed by Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 165. In the Scinax ruber clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96. Toledo and Haddad, 2005, J. Herpetol., 39: 455–464, reported on the acoustic repertoire. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 28, suggested that this species likely occurs in Paraguay. Martins, 1998, in Milliken and Ratter (eds.), Maracá: 294, suggested without discussion that Scinax trilineatus is a junior synonym of Scinax fuscomarginatus. See comments regarding Venezuelan population (as Scinax trilineatus) by Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient.
