Comment

The sister species of Pseudacris nigrita and previously confused with Pseudacris feriarum according to the original publication. Wiens, Kuczynski, Hua, and Moen, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 55 873, noted studies in which specimens of this species (prior to its naming) had been considered to be Pseudacris feriarum. Dodd, 2013, Frogs U.S. and Canada, 1: 357–363, provided an account that summarized the relevant literature. Elliot, Gerhardt, and Davidson, 2009, Frogs and Toads of N. Am.: 92–93, provided an account, photos, and advertisement call. Altig and McDiarmid, 2015, Handb. Larval Amph. US and Canada: 210–212, provided an account of larval morphology and biology. Bassett, 2023, Reptiles & Amphibians, 30(e18486): 1–18, provided an updated county distribution map for Texas, USA.
