Comment

Myers and Duellman, 1982, Am. Mus. Novit., 2752: 23, questioned the synonymy of this taxon with Hyla albopunctulata, where it had been placed by Cochran and Goin, 1970, Bull. U.S. Natl. Mus., 288: 220. Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 866-869, presented an account and formally removed it from the synonymy of Hyla albopunctulata. Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 307-308. In the Hyloscirtus bogotensis group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 85.
