Comment
In the Hyla pulchella group according to Duellman, De la Riva, and Wild, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 3: 1–41, who provided an account. Suggested to likely be in the Hyla pulchella group by Faivovich, Garcia, Ananias, Lanari, Basso, and Wheeler, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 32: 938–950. Lehr and von May, 2004, Salamandra, 40: 51–58, recollected the species at the type locality and reported on these specimens. In the Hypsiboas pulchellus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 87–88. Lehr, Faivovich, and Jungfer, 2010, Herpetologica, 66: 296–307, provided a distribution map and suggested that Hypsiboas melanopleura is the sister taxon of Hypsiboas aguilari. Lehr, Faivovich, and Jungfer, 2011, Salamandra, 47: 30–35, reported on larval morphology.
