Type(s): Not specifically designated, but including animal figured in pl. 8, fig. 4 in the original publication; syntypes were ZSM 2498/0 (2 specimens), destroyed, according to Duellman, 1977, Das Tierreich, 95: 26; Hoogmoed and Gruber, 1983, Spixiana, München, Suppl., 9: 366 (although only one specimen implied in original publication); and confirmed by Glaw and Franzen, 2006, Spixiana, München, 29: 166. Type locality: "Ecgá prope flumen Teffe" (= Ega, Tefé), Amazonas, Brazil. Synonymy with Hyla albomarginata by Peters, 1872, Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss.
