Comment
Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 385-388, provided an account and considered this species a member of the Hyla hazelae group. In the Hyla miotympanum group of Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 916-917, who provided an account. In the Plectrohyla bistincta group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 105. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 270. Mendelson and Kabay, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 301-302, discussed and restricted the known range, noting that this species is likely extinct and that records other than from the type locality are either lost of based on misidentifications. Grünwald, Franz-Chávez, Morales-Flores, Ahumada-Carrillo, and Jones, 2019, Zootaxa, 4712: 345–364, mapped the species and compared it to close relatives, Sarcohyla toyota and Sarcohyla thorectes.
