Adenomera hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868)
Cystignathus hylaedactylus Cope, 1868, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 20: 115. Holotype: ANSP 2240, according to Malnate, 1971, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 123: 351. Type locality: "From the Napo or upper Maranon" River, Peru. Carvalho, Giaretta, Maciel, Barrera, Aguilar-Puntriano, Haddad, Kokubum, Menin, and Angulo, Copeia, 2019: 708–723, suggested that the holotype is unidentifiable and the name may not apply to the species but to Adenomera andreae or Adenomera simonstuarti.

Comment
See account by Heyer, 1973, Contrib. Sci. Nat. Hist. Mus. Los Angeles Co., 251: 35-40. See comment under Adenomera diptyx. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 226-227, provided a photo and brief account for French Guiana. Rodríguez and Duellman, 1994, Univ. Kansas Mus. Nat. Hist. Spec. Publ., 22: 64–65, provided a brief account for the Iquitos region of northeastern Peru. Köhler, 2000, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 48: 111-112, provided a brief account. Murphy, 1997, Amph. Rept. Trinidad Tobago: 79-80, provided an account for Trinidad. Angulo, Cocroft, and Reichle, 2003, Herpetologica, 59: 490–504, reported the call. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 23, suggested that Paraguayan records of this species are based on misidentifications. See account (as Leptodactylus hylaedactyla) for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 16-19. See Cole, Townsend, Reynolds, MacCulloch, and Lathrop, 2013, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 125: 420-421, for brief account and records for Guyana. Zimmerman, 1983, Herpetologica, 39: 235–246, reported on advertisement call. See Barrio-Amorós, Rojas-Runjaic, and Señaris, 2019, Amph. Rept. Conserv., 13 (1: e180): 89, for comments on range and literature. Fouquet, Vidal, and Dewynter, 2019, Zoosystema, 41: 370–371, noted that the inselberg population of southern French Guiana and farther south is unlikely to be conspecific with the nominate species found along the coast. Dubeux, Silva, Nascimento, Gonçalves, and Mott, 2019, Rev. Nordestina Zool., 12: 18–52, summarized the literature on larval morphology. See brief account for the Manu region, Peru, by Villacampa-Ortega, Serrano-Rojas, and Whitworth, 2017, Amph. Manu Learning Cent.: 216–217. Dubeux, Gonçalves, Ramos, Melo, Silva, and Mott, 2020, Herpetol. Notes, 13: 997–1002, provided a record (as Adenomera aff. hylaedactyla) for Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve, Quebrangulo Municipality, Alagoas, Brazil, and commented on natural history and range.
