Comment

Elevated from status as a subspecies of Hyla arborea by Lanza, 1983, Biogeographia, 8: 730. See account of Corsican population by Delaguerre and Cheylan, 1992, Atlas Repart. Batr. Rept. Corse: 35-37. Lanza, 1983, Guide Reconoscimento Spec. Animali, Anf. Rett.: 115-116, reported on the Italian populations. Disi, Modry, Necas, and Rifai, 2001, Amph. Rept. Hashemite Kingdom Jordan: 97-98, provided an account for the Jordanian population. Arnold, 2002, Rept. Amph. Eur., Ed. 2: 78-79, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Nöllert and Nöllert, 1992, Die Amph. Eur.: 310-312, provided an account and polygon map. In the Hyla arborea group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus.

See detailed account by Corti, 2007, in Lanza et al. (eds.), Fauna d'Italia, 42 (Amph.): 346-351. Bisconti, Canestrelli, and Nascetti, 2011, Biol. J. Linn. Soc., 103: 159-167, reported on genetic variation as evidenced by allozyme electrophoresis. Grosse, 2011, Laubfrösche: 1-286, reviewed the biology of the species.
