Comment

In the Hyla circumdata group. Removed from the synonymy of Hyla crepitans by Bokermann, 1966, Lista Anot. Local. Tipo Anf. Brasil.: 68, where it had been placed by Cochran, 1955 "1954", Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 206: 66, and Cochran and Goin, 1970, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 288: 193. See account by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 259-261. Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001, Anf. Municipio Rio de Janeiro: 39, provided a brief account and photo. In the Bokermannohyla circumdata group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 82-83. Canelas and Bertoluci, 2007, Iheringia, Zool., 97: 21-26, provided a record for the Serra do Caraça, southern end of the Serra do Espinhaço, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Eterovick and Sazima, 2004, Anf.
