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. Serra do Cipó: 47-48, provided a photograph and brief account. Vasconcellos, Colli, Weber, Ortiz, Rodrigues, and Cannatella, 2019, Mol. Ecol., 28: 1748–1764, reported on molecular phylogeography, noting four geographically coherent genetic clusters of populations. Neves, Yves, Pereira Silva, Alves, Vasques, Coelho, and Silva, 2019, Herpetozoa, Wien, 32: 113–123, provided habitat information and a record for western Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rossa-Feres and Nomura, 2006 "2005", Biota Neotrop., São Paulo, 6 (2: bn00706012006): 1–24, characterized and provided a key to the larvae of northwestern São Paulo state, Brazil.
