Comment

The external adult and larval morphology and advertisement call was described in the original description of Hyla feioi by Napoli and Caramaschi, 2004, Copeia, 2004: 534–545. Cruz, Feio, and Caramaschi, 2009, Anf. Ibitipoca: 84-85, provided photographs and a brief account (as Bokermannohyla feioi) for Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pezzuti, Leite, Rossa-Feres, and Garcia, 2021, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 22 (Special Issue): 1–109, described and discussed larval morphology and natural history of Bokermannohyla aff. nanuzae (now Bokermannohyla feioi). Removed from the synonymy of Bokermannohyla nanuzae by Brunes, Pinto, Taucce, Santos, Nascimento, Carvalho, Oliveira, Vasconcelos, and Leite, 2023, Syst.
