Comment
In the Hyla bistincta group according to the original publication. In the Plectrohyla bistincta group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 105. See Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 462-466, and Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 963-964. Parra-Olea, Casas-Andreu, Aguilar-Miguel, and García-París, 2003, Herpetol. Rev., 34: 162, reported the México (state) locality (now assigned to Sarcohyla floresi). Urbina-Cardona and Loyola, 2008, Tropical Conserv. Sci., 1: 417–445, modeled the distribution. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 273. Palacios-Aguilar, Santos-Bibiano, and Beltrán-Sánchez, 2017, Herpetol. Rev., 48: 385–386, provided a new record in Guerrero, Mexico, and briefly discussed the range. Kaplan, Heimes, and Aguilar, 2020, Zootaxa, 4743: 382–390, transferred the records from the states of Guerrero and Mexico to the newly-named Sarcohyla floresi.
