Comment
Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: fig. 50, and Grant, Frost, Caldwell, Gagliardo, Haddad, Kok, Means, Noonan, Schargel, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 299: 153, included Hylorina in Cycloramphidae; Correa-Quezada, Veloso, Iturra-Constant, and Méndez-Torres, 2006, Rev. Chilena Hist. Nat., 79: 435-450, placed Hylorhina near to Batrachyla among their exemplars, although this is consistent with its placement in Cycloramphidae. Basso, Úbeda, Bunge, and Martinazzo, 2011, Zootaxa, 3002: 31-44, transferred Hylorina into Batrachylidae. The DNA sequences associated with the placement of Hylorina in Alsodidae are misidentified according to XXX.
