Comment
Ecnomiohyla is formed from the former Hyla tuberculosa group, excluding Hyla dendrophasma (now Ptychohyla dendrophasma), and a fragment of the former Hyla miotympanum group according to the original publication. In the Hylini of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 89, suggested that Ecnomiohyla may not be monophyletic, as did Wiens, Kuczynski, Hua, and Moen, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 5555: 871-882. 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 Ecnomiohyla is not monophyletic.
