Comment
Resurrected from the synonymy of Hyla albopunctata by Duellman, 1974, Copeia, 1974: 286, where it had been placed by Rivero, 1961, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 126: 105 (who also provided an account). Reviewed by de Sá, 1996, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 624: 1-4. Duellman, 1974, Copeia, 1974: 286, noted that Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 41, referred specimen of Hyla multifasciata to her Hyla daudini, which was coined as a replacement name for "Hyla boans Daudin". Duellman, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 2: 18–19, commented on a population in southern Venezuela. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 112-113, provided a brief account and photo.
