Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Hyla pardalis by Caramaschi and Napoli, 2004, J. Herpetol., 38; Caramaschi and Rodrigues, 2003, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 61:259 (who also placed it in the Hyla boans group), where it had been placed by Peters, 1872, Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1872: 211; Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 354, althoug the synonymy had been questioned by Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 54. In the Hypsiboas faber group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 87. Eterovick and Sazima, 2004, Anf.
