Comment

In the Hyla pulchella group, Hyla polytaenia clade of Faivovich, Garcia, Ananias, Lanari, Basso, and Wheeler, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 32: 944.See Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 271-272. See Hypsiboas goiana and Hypsiboas cipoensis. See Cruz and Caramaschi, 1998, Bol. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, N.S., Zool., 392: 1-19, for account and redefinition. Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 479-480. See comment under Hypsiboas caingua. In the Hypsiboas pulchellus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 87-88. Canelas and Bertoluci, 2007, Iheringia, Zool., 97: 21-26, provided a record for the Serra do Caraça, southern end of the Serra do Espinhaço, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 22-23, suggested that earlier reports of this species in Paraguary are based on misidentified Hypsiboas caingua. Cruz, Feio, and Caramaschi, 2009, Anf. Ibitipoca: 96-97, provided photographs and a brief account for Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pinheiro, Pezzuti, and Garcia, 2012, S. Am. J.
