Comment
In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 93. In the Hyla parviceps group according to the original publication and Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 859. Duellman, 1978, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 65: 135–136, provided a brief account including characterization of call and tadpole. Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 25–26, provided a brief account as Hyla brevifrons. De la Riva, Köhler, Lötters, and Reichle, 2000, Rev. Esp. Herpetol., 14: 57, and Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 69, consider this species possibly to occur in Bolivia. Duellman, 2005, Cusco Amazonico: 202–204, provided an account (adult and larval morphology, description of the call, life history). Lynch, 2006, Caldasia, 28: 140, characterized the range in Colombia. Ernst, Rödel, and Arjoon, 2005, Salamandra, 41: 179-194, provided a record for central Guyana and noted records in Amazonas, Brazil. See comments under Dendropsophus counani, which was previously confused with this species. Fouquet, Gilles, Vences, Marty, Blanc, and Gemmell, 2007, PLoS One, 10 (e1109): 1–10, provided molecular evidence that this is a species complex. Motta, Menin, Almeida, and Hrbek, 2018, Zootaxa, 4438: 79–104, on the basis of 16S rRNA sequence divergence suggested that this nominal species is composed of at least two cryptic species. For identification of larvae (as Hyla cf. brevifrons) in central Amazonia, Brazil, see Hero, 1990, Amazoniana, 11: 201–262. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Orrico, Grant, Faivovich, Rivera-Correa, Rada, Lyra, Cassini, Valdujo, Schargel, Machado, Wheeler, Barrio-Amorós, Loebmann, Moravec, Zina, Solé, Sturaro, Peloso, Suárez, and Haddad, 2021, Cladistics, 37: 73–105.
