In the Hyla pulchella group, according to Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 83, and Duellman, De la Riva, and Wild, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 3: 17. Cocroft, in Reynolds and Foster, 1992, Herpetol. Monogr., 6: 98, noted that the call of Hyla prasina indicates that it is not conspecific with Hyla pulchella as suggested by Steindachner, 1864, Verh. Zool. Bot. Ges. Wien, 14: 241; Peters, 1872, Monatsber. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1872: 680, and Boulenger, 1882, Cat. Batr. Sal. Coll. Brit. Mus., Ed. 2: 375. See account by Heyer, Rand, Cruz, Peixoto, and Nelson, 1990, Arq. Zool., São Paulo, 31: 272-273. Removed from the synonymy of Hyla pulchella by Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 83.
