ƒEcnomiohyla Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005
Ecnomiohyla Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 100. Type species: Hypsiboas miliarius Cope, 1886, by original designation.
English Names
Marvelous Frogs (Liner and Casas-Andreu, 2008, Herpetol. Circ., 38: 12).

Distribution
Wet forested highlands of southern Mexico through Central America to Colombia.
Comment
Ecnomiohyla is formed from the former Hyla tuberculosa group, excluding Hyla dendrophasma (now Ptychohyla dendrophasma), and a fragment of the former Hyla miotympanum group according to the original publication. In the Hylini of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 89, suggested that Ecnomiohyla may not be monophyletic, as did Wiens, Kuczynski, Hua, and Moen, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 5555: 871–882. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543–583, but seemingly excluding the rhodopsin data from Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294, suggested that Ecnomiohyla is not monophyletic. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 222–226, provided a brief summary of natural history for the species of Central America, compared with with other species of hylids from that region, and provided range maps and photographs. Batista, Hertz, Mebert, Köhler, Lotzkat, Ponce, and Veselý, 2014, Zootaxa, 3826: 449–474, provided a molecular tree of the species. Mendelson, Eichenbaum, and Campbell, 2015, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 10: 187–194, reviewed the species of Nuclear Central America. Faivovich, Pereyra, Luna, Hertz, Blotto, Vásquez-Almazán, McCranie, Sánchez, Baêta, Araujo-Vieira, Köhler, Kubicki, Campbell, Frost, Wheeler, and Haddad, 2018, S. Am. J. Herpetol., 13: 11–13, discussed the monophyly of the Ecnomiohyla fimbrimembra group (Ecnomiohyla bailarina, Ecnomiohyla fimbrimembra, and Ecnomiohyla rabborum), but suggested that Ecnomiohyla echinata, Ecnomiohyla salvaje, and Ecnomiohyla valancifer should not be assigned to any species group.
