Comment
Sympatric with Hyla savignyi according to the original publication. Stöck, Dubey, Klütsch, Litvinchuk, Scheidt, and Perrin, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 49: 1019-1024, suggested on the basis of mtDNA that this taxon might be based on introduced populations of Hyla japonica and suggested additional work is warranted. Werner, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 57: 955-956, disputed this suggestion but this was rejected by Stöck, Dubey, Klütsch, Litvinchuk, Scheidt, and Perrin, 2010, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 57: 957-958.
