Comment
See Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 372–380, and Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 913–915. Mendoza-Quijano, Mejenes-López, Reynoso-Rosales, Estrada-Hernandez, and Rodriguez-Blanco, 2001, Anal. Inst. Biol., Univ. Nac. Aut. Mexico, Ser. Zool., 72: 233–243, provided the record from Guanajuato. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 615. Savage and Kubicki, 2010, Zootaxa, 2719: 22, regarded the assignment of this species to Ecnomiohyla as problematic as it lacks the morphological synapmorphies they associate with application of the generic name. Garza-Tobón and Lemos-Espinal: 103, provided the first record for Coahuila at 20 km E of San Antonio de las Alanzas. Lemos-Espinal and Dixon, 2013, Amphibians and Reptiles of San Luis Potosí: 51–52, provided an account for San Luis Potosí, Mexico Köhler, 2011, Amph. Cent. Am.: 222–226, provided a brief summary of natural history for the species of Ecnomiohyla in Central America and provided a range map and photograph for this species. Lemos-Espinal and Smith, 2015, Check List, 11(1642): 1–11, noted the occurrence of the species in Hidalgo, Mexico, without providing a specific locality. Lemos-Espinal and Dixon, 2016, Amph. Rept. Hidalgo: 370–371, provided a brief account and map for Hidalgo, Mexico.
