Comment

See Duellman, 1972, Zool. Meded., Leiden, 47: 185-186, for discussion. Duellman, 1978, Misc. Publ. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 65: 144–146, provided a brief account including characterization of call and tadpole. Zimmerman, 1983, Herpetologica, 39: 235–246, reported on vocalization. See De la Riva, Márquez, and Bosch, 1994, Bijdr. Dierkd., 64: 75–85, for advertisement call. In the Scinax ruber clade, Scinax rostratus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96–97. See account by Duellman and Wiens, 1993, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 153: 16–18 Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 49–50, provided a brief account for the Iquitos region of northeastern Peru. Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 36, commented on the Venezuelan distribution. Duellman, 2005, Cusco Amazonico: 238–240, provided an account (adult and larval morphology, description of the call, life history). Silva e Silva and Costa-Campos, 2014, Check List, 10: 448–449, discussed the range and provided a record for the state of Amapá, Brazil. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 84–85, for comments on range and literature. For identification of larvae (as Hyla garbei) in central Amazonia, Brazil, see Hero, 1990, Amazoniana, 11: 201–262. Señaris and Rojas-Runjaic, 2020, in Rull and Carnaval (eds.), Neotrop. Divers. Patterns Process.: 571–632, commented on range and conservation status in the Venezuelan Guayana. Lopes, Bang, Marinho, and Giaretta, 2020, Phyllomedusa, 19: 63–82, noted that the species exhibited three, geographically coherent, advertisement calls, imperfectly delimited as: (1) Brazil (eastern Amazonas to northern Mato Grosso); (2) Northwestern (northeastern Ecuador, northeastern Peru, and Amazonian Colombia); and (3) Southwestern (southeastern Amazonian Peru to northeastern Bolivia). See brief account for the Manu region, Peru, by Villacampa-Ortega, Serrano-Rojas, and Whitworth, 2017, Amph. Manu Learning Cent.: 196–197. Ron, Duellman, Caminer, and Pazmiño, 2018, PLoS One, 13 (9: e0203169): 5, discovered that this nominal species was paraphyletic in their molecular analysis with respect to Scinax proboscideus, and suggested that Scinax garbei is composed of more than one lineage.
