Comment
See Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 477. Previous Argentinian records of Hyla claresignata have been referred to this taxon by Carrizo, 1991 "1990", Cuad. Herpetol., 5: 32–39. In the Hyla pulchella group according to Duellman, De la Riva, and Wild, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 3: 17. Ananias, Garcia, and Recco-Pimentel, 2004, Hereditas, Lund, 140: 42–48, reported on karyotype. In the Hyla pulchella group of Faivovich, Garcia, Ananias, Lanari, Basso, and Wheeler, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 32: 938–950. In the Hypsiboas pulchellus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 87–88.
