Comment
See Duellman and Crump, 1974, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 23: 1-40, for account. Discussed also by Rivero, 1969, Herpetologica, 25: 126-134. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 140, provided a brief account and photo of an undescribed species masquerading under this name. Barrio-Amorós (personal commun.) regards the animals pictured to more resemble Hyla minuta or Hyla microcephala than Hyla luteoocellata. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 93. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 74, for comments on range, systematics, and literature. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Orrico, Grant, Faivovich, Rivera-Correa, Rada, Lyra, Cassini, Valdujo, Schargel, Machado, Wheeler, Barrio-Amorós, Loebmann, Moravec, Zina, Solé, Sturaro, Peloso, Suárez, and Haddad, 2021, Cladistics, 37: 73–105.
