Comment
In the Hypsiboas albopunctatus species group, Hypsiboas calcaratus complex, most similar to Hypsiboas fasciatus and Hypsiboas calcaratus according to the original publication. Batallas-Revelo and Brito-M., 2016, Rev. Mexicana Biodiversidad, 87: 1292–1300, reported on vocalizations from Sangay National Park, southeastern Ecuador. Camper, Torres-Carvajal, Ron, Nilsson, Arteaga-Navarro, Knowles, and Arbogast, 2021, Check List, 17: 729–751, provided a record from Wildsumaco Wildlife Sanctuary, Napo Province, Ecuador. Rainha, Martinez, Moraes, Castro, Réjaud, Fouquet, Leite, Rodrigues, and Werneck, 2021, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 134: 177–197, included this species in their Boana calcarata clade and discussed phylogenetics and the influence of subtle environmental factors on geographic variation in morphology.
