English Names
Rattle-voiced Treefrog (Cochran, 1961, Living Amph. World: 139).
Emerald-eyed Treefrog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 55).
Distribution
Relatively dry habitats in eastern Panama, through northern Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, including adjacent northern Brazil, below 1700 m elevation; an allopatric population from northeastern Brazil to Paraná and Santa Catarina largely centered on the Atlantic Forest.
Comment
In the Hyla boans group of Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 859 (who also noted that the previous record for this species in Honduras was erroneous). This taxon apparently is a composite of several species; see Kluge, 1979, Occas. Pap. Mus. Zool. Univ. Michigan, 688: 1-24. See Hyla pugnax. Kenny, 1969, Stud. Fauna Curaçao and other Caribb. Is., 29: 38-40, and Murphy, 1997, Amph. Rept. Trinidad Tobago: 66-67, provided accounts for the Trinidad and Tobago populations. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 118-119, provided a brief account and photo (although this photo is of an undescribed cryptic rainforest species according to Barrio-Amorós, personal commun.). Lynch and Suárez-Mayorga, 2001, Caldasia, 23: 491-507, discussed the Colombian range of the species and suggested that the nominal species is a composite of cryptic species, mirrored by comments by Barrio-Amorós, 1999 "1998", Acta Biol. Venezuelica, 18: 29. See comment regarding geographic differentiation in Venezuela by Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 29-30. In the Hypsiboas faber group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 87. Martins, Silva, and Giaretta, 2009, Salamandra, 45: 106-109, suggested on the basis of call structure that the two allopatric populations were probably distinct species. See account for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 140-143.
