Comment
Most similar to Hyla aperomea, Hyla minima, Hyla rossalleni, Hyla leali, and Hyla riveroi according to the original publication. In the Hyla minima group by implication. The Hyla minima group should be placed within the Hyla parviceps group according to Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 859. In the Dendropsophus minimus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 92-93. Cisneros-Heredia, 2005, Herpetozoa, 18: 71-72, discussed the range and natural history, and provided new records for Ecuador.
