Comment

See Duellman, 1982, Amphibia-Reptilia, 3: 159. 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. See comment under Dendropsophus coffeus. Köhler, Jungfer, and Reichle, 2005, J. Herpetol., 39: 48, suggested that more than one species is covered by this binominal.
