Comment
Most similar to Hyla insolita according to the original publication. Hyla calypsa was formerly confused with Hyla lancasteri; see discussion in the original publication. In the Hyla pictipes group of Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 876, who provided an account (pp. 878-883). See account by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 310-311, who placed this species in the Hyla lancasteri group. In the Isthmohyla pictipes group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 103. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph.
