Comment

In the Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni group, according to Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 1-30. Panama record by Jaramillo, Jaramillo, and Ibáñez D., 1988, Herpetol. Rev., 19: 59. See account by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 370-371. See account as Hyalinobatrachium crybetes by McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 219-221. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 38, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras (as Hyalinobatrachium crybetes). See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status of nominal Hyalinobatrachium crybetes in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 218. Kubicki, 2007, Glass Frogs Costa Rica: 182-199, provided an account and detailed range map for Costa Rica. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 121–125, compared the species of Central America and provided an identification key, maps, and photographs. McCranie, Sunyer, and Martínez-Fonseca, 2019, Rev. Nicaraguense Biodiversidad, 52: 26, suggested the species would be found in northeastern Nicaragua. Díaz-Ricaurte and Guevara-Molina, 2022, Stud. Neotrop. Fauna Environ., 57: 51–65, reidentified records (by Barrera-Rodriguez, 2000 "1999", Rev. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Exact. Fis.
