Comment

 Bokermann, 1963, An. Acad. Brasil. Cienc., 35: 470–471, detailed larval morphology (as nominal Hyla microps). Beçak, 1968, Carylogia, 21: 191–208, reported (as Hyla microps) on the karyotype. For account see Duellman and Crump, 1974, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 23: 1–40; and Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 265–266. In the Dendropsophus parviceps group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 93. Maffei, Ubaid, Almeida, Contieri Rolim, Scarpellini, Moya, Spirandeli Cruz, and Jim, 2009, Check List, 5: 776–779, provided a range extension and discussed the ecological and geographic range. Forti, Márquez, and Bertoluci, 2015, Zoologia, Curitiba, 32: 187–194, reported on call differences between two populations in southeastern Brazil. 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.
