Comment
In the Pseudacris regilla group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 106. Previous to its referral to Pseudacris this species was considered a member of the Hyla eximia group. See Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 493-496 (as Hyla cadaverina), and Gaudin, 1979, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 225: 1–2 (as Hyla cadaverina), for accounts. Grismer, 2002, Amph. Rept. Baja California: 73–75, provided an account for the Mexican population. Stebbins, 2003, Field Guide W. Rept. Amph., Ed. 3: 221–222, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Phillipsen and Metcalf, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 53: 152–170, reported on a molecular phylogeography study that found considerable geographic structure in the distribution of haplotypes. Welsh, Clark, Franco-Vizcaíno, and Valdéz-Villavicencio, 2010, Southwest. Nat., 55: 581–585, discussed the range in northern Baja California, Mexico. Dodd, 2013, Frogs U.S. and Canada, 1: 322–328, provided an account that summarized the relevant literature. Elliot, Gerhardt, and Davidson, 2009, Frogs and Toads of N. Am.: 112–113, provided an account, photos, and advertisement call. Altig and McDiarmid, 2015, Handb. Larval Amph. US and Canada: 204, provided an account of larval morphology and biology.
