Comment

Closely allied to Hyla chinensis, according to the original publication, and a 'high altitude form of chinensis' according to Pope, 1931, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 61: 463. See Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 134-136, and Ma, Yu, and Wen, 1982, Nat. Hist., Beijing, 1982: 37. See accounts by Ye, Fei, and Hu, 1993, Rare and Economic Amph. China: 203; and Fei, 1999, Atlas Amph. China: 148-149. Huang, 1990, Fauna Zhejiang, Amph. Rept.: 51-53, provided an account for Zhejiang populations. Zhang and Wen, 2000, Amph. Guangxi: 65, provided an account for Guangxi. Zhang, 2002, Sichuan J. Zool., 21: 198-199, provided a key to differentiate this species from others in China. In the Hyla arborea group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 102 (but see comment under Hyla regarding possible membership in the Hyla japonica group). Fei, Hu, Ye, and Huang, 2009, Fauna Sinica, Amph. 2: 649-, provided an account and spot map.
