Comment
Related to Hyla annectans according to the original publication. Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 148-149, provided a brief description, map, and figure. Fei and Ye, 2001, Color Handbook Amph. Sichuan: 165, provided a brief account and illustration. Zhang, 2002, Sichuan J. Zool., 21: 198-199, provided a key to differentiate this species from others in China. In the Hyla arborea group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 102, and Hua, Fu, Li, Nieto-Montes de Oca, and Wiens, 2009, Herpetologica, 65: 246-259. Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 640-644, provided an account and spot map. Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2010, Colored Atlas of Chinese Amph.: 257, provided a brief account. In the Hyla chinensis group of Li, Wang, Nian, Litvinchuk, Wang, Li, Rao, and Klaus, 2015, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 87: 80–90. Fei and Ye, 2016, Amph. China, 1: 849–851, provided an account, photograph, and spot map. Yao and Gong, 2012, Amph. Rept. Gansu: 41–42, provided a brief account and photographs. Skorinov, Li, Skorinova, Pasynkova, and Litvinchuk, 2020, North-West. J. Zool., Romania, 16: 172–177, reported on chromosome heteromorphism. Yan, Pan, Wu, Kang, Ali, Zhou, Li, Wu, and Zhang, 2020, Frontiers Ecol. Evol., 8 (234): 1–13, demonstrated that nominal Hyla chinensis was composed of at least 6 lineages, of which one, their "Clade A" is composed of Hyla tsinglingensis and former Hyla annectans chianxuensis. Most closely related to Hyla chuanxiensis according to Dufresnes and Litvinchuk, 2022, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 195: 711.
