Comment

In the Hyla eximia group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 102. Resurrected from the synonymy of Hyla eximia by Nieden, 1923, Das Tierreich, 46: 245, where it had been placed by Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 378. See account (in the sense of including Hyla bocourti) by Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 505–510; see note by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 987. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 616. Cruz-Elizalde, Hernández-Salinas, and Ramírez-Bautista, 2010, Herpetol. Rev., 41: 507, provided a record for Hidalgo and commented on the range. Korky and Webb, 1991, Bull. New Jersey Acad. Sci., 36: 7–12, compared the larval morphology of Hyla eximia, Hyla euphorbiacea, and Hyla plicata. Lemos-Espinal and Dixon, 2016, Amph. Rept. Hidalgo: 372–373, provided a brief account and map for Hidalgo, Mexico. Vásquez-Cruz, Castillo Juárez, Taval-Velázquez, and Reynoso-Martínez, 2020, Herpetol. Rev., 51: 268, provided additional records for Veracruz, Mexico. Caballero, 2021, Rev. Latinoam. Herpetol., 4: 215–216, discussed the range, mapped known localities and added a record from the municipality of San Antonio Huitepec, Oaxaca, Mexico.
