Comment

Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 1027-1041, provided a phylogenetic analysis of the species and provided accounts. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 297-301, provided a key and accounts for the species of Costa Rica. McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 247-254, provided accounts and keys to the species of Honduras and discussed phylogenetic analyses of previous authors. In the Hylini of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 89. Wiens, Fetzner, Parkinson, and Reeder, 2005, Syst. Biol., 54: 743, considered Duellmanohyla to be part of their enlarged Hyla. Smith, Arif, Nieto-Montes de Oca, and Wiens, 2007, Evolution, 61: 2075-2085, suggested that Duellmanohyla is non-monophyletic due to the intrusion of Ptychohyla salvadorensis. Ptychohyla salvadorensis, but did not provide a taxonomic remedy for this problem. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences, but seemingly excluding the rhodopsin data from Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294, suggested that Duellmanohyla as well as Bromeliohyla are imbedded phylogenetically within Ptychohyla.
