Comment
In the Hyla eximia group of Kuramoto, 1980, Copeia, 1980: 100-108, and Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 102 (see comment under Hyla). See Kuramoto, 1984, Copeia, 1984: 609-616, for additional evidence of distinctiveness from other Hyla arborea group frogs. A possibility exists that Hyla stepheni Boulenger, 1887, may be a senior synonym of this name, according to the original publication. Yang and Park, 1988, Korean J. Zool., 31: 11-20, reported on ecological, genetic, reproductive, and behavioral distinctiveness from Hyla japonica. See also Lee and Park, 1992, Korean J. Zool., 35: 219-225, reported on geographic variation in mtDNA restriction sites. Lee, Yang, Kim, Lee, Lee, Yang, and Lee, 1999, Korean J. Genet., 3: 295-301, reported on sequence divergence from Hyla japonica.
