Comment

Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 111, could not assign this taxon to any of the tribes within Hylinae, but could exclude it from Hyla sensu stricto. Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294, could not allocate several members of former "Hyla" to any of the new genera, including this one, but believed that they would be so allocated with additional work. As an interim measure they merely allocated these species to the non-taxon "Hyla", clearly not part of the North American-Eurasian clade which bears the name Hyla. Wiens, Graham, Moen, Smith, and Reeder, 2006, Am. Nat. (Suppl. data), 168 (Suppl. data): 13, showed that this species is imbedded within Osteocephalus.
