Comment

See Duellman and Crump, 1974, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 23: 20, for generic allocation. Argentinian records of Hyla pardalis were referred to this taxon by Carrizo, 1991 "1990", Cuad. Herpetol., 5: 32-39. See account by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 283-284. Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva, 2001, Anf. Municipio Rio de Janeiro: 53, provided a brief account and photo. Lingnau, Zank, Colombo, and Vinciprova, 2006, Check List, 2(1): 38-39, discussed the range and provided records for Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Arzabe and Loebmann, 2006, Check List, 2(2): 33-34, provided a record for Sergipe (state), Brazil, and noted earlier literature on distribution. Pimenta and Canedo, 2007, Zootaxa, 1387: 39–46, reported on larval morphology. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 10, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Kleinsorge, Murta da Fonseca, Pirani, and Nascimento, 2009, Check List, 5: 876-878, discussed the range, provided a range extension from Minas Gerais, Brazil, and noted a correction to the georeference data for a previous extension. Silva, Ferreira, Santos, and Feio, 2011, Check List, 7: 128-130, provided new reocrds for Minas Gerais and discussed the range. Cazelli and Moura, 2012, Check List, 8: 510-512, provided a record for Minas Gerais, and mapped the range. Weiler, Núñez, Airaldi, Lavilla, Peris, and Baldo, 2013, Anf. Paraguay: 68, provided a brief account, image, and dot map for Paraguay. Forti, Foratto, Márquez, Pereira, and Toledo, 2018, PeerJ, 6(e4813): 1–19, reported on the advertisement call. Airaldi-Wood, Pérez de Molas, and González-Soria, 2021, Kempffiana, 17(2): 22–29, reported the species from Caaguazu Department, eastern Paraguay, and summarized the records for that country.
