Comment
Elevated to subfamily from tribal status under Hylinae by Duellman, Marion, and Hedges, 2016, Zootaxa, 4104: 29. It had been placed in the synonymy of Hylinae by implication of synonymy of Cophomantis with Hyla by Peters, 1873 "1872", Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1872: 772, and by Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 337. See comments under Hylidae and Hylinae for access to relevant literature. Ferro, Cardozo, Suárez, Boeris, Blasco-Zuñiga, Barbero, Gomes, Gazoni, Costa, Nagamachi, Rivera, Parise-Maltempi, Wiley, Pieczarka, Haddad, Faivovich, and Baldo, 2018, PLoS One, 13(2: e0192861): 1–29, reported on the chromosome evolution within Cophomantini.
