Comment
Removed from synonymy of Ptychohyla euthysanota by Campbell and Smith, 1992, Herpetologica, 48: 153–167, where it had been placed by Duellman, 1963, Univ. Kansas Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist., 15: 320. See by Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 539–540 account (as Ptychohyla euthysanota macrotympanum) and note by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 1020–1021. See illustration, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 277. Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 256–261, provided a brief summary of natural history and identification key for the species of Ptychohyla in Central America and provided a range map and photograph for this species. Ríos-Rodas, Zenteno-Ruiz, Barragán-Vazquez, Canseco-Márquez, and López Luna, 2019, Check List, 15: 1161–1166, provided a record for extreme southwestern Tabasco, Mexico, near the borders of Veracruz and Chiapas.
