Comment
Resurrected from the synonymy of Hyla albopunctata by Duellman, 1974, Copeia, 1974: 286, where it had been placed by Rivero, 1961, Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 126: 105 (who also provided an account). Reviewed by de Sá, 1996, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 624: 1-4. Duellman, 1974, Copeia, 1974: 286, noted that Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 41, referred specimen of Hyla multifasciata to her Hyla daudini, which was coined as a replacement name for "Hyla boans Daudin". Duellman, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 2: 18–19, commented on a population in southern Venezuela. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 112-113, provided a brief account and photo. See comments regarding distribution of Venezuelan population by Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 34-35. In the Hypsiboas albopunctatus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 86. Loebmann, Prado, Haddad, Bastos, and Guimarães, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 476, provided records from Ceará and Goiás, Brazil. See account for Suriname population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 154-155. See Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 406-407, for brief account and records for Guyana. Señaris, Lampo, Rojas-Runjaic, and Barrio-Amorós, 2014, Guía Ilust. Anf. Parque Nac. Canaima: 158–159, provided a photograph and a brief account for the Parque Nacional de Canaima, Venezuela. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 65, for comments on range, systematics, and literature. Señaris and Rojas-Runjaic, 2020, in Rull and Carnaval (eds.), Neotrop. Divers. Patterns Process.: 571–632, commented on range and conservation status in the Venezuelan Guayana. Fouquet, Marinho, Réjaud, Carvalho, Caminer, Jansen, Rainha, Rodrigues, Werneck, Lima, Hrbek, Giaretta, Venegas, Chávez, and Ron, 2021, Syst. Biodiversity, 19: Supplemental Appendix 5, suggested that populations in the Guiana Shield (their Boana aff. albopunctata 2, Pará, Brazil (their Boana aff. albopunctata 4), and Rondônia, Brazil (their Boana aff. albopunctata 1) belong to unnamed species. Mittan-Moreau, Zamudio, Thomé, Camurugi, Colli, Garda, Haddad, and Prado, 2022, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 175 (107579): 1–11, detected a cryptic species associated with this lineage. Taucce, Costa-Campos, Carvalho, and Michalski, 2022, Eur. J. Taxon., 836: 112, noted that records from Amapá, Brazil, apply to an unnamed candidate species. They also reported on distribution, literature, and conservation status for Amapá, Brazil.
