Comment
In the Pseudacris nigrita group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 106 (though this species was not recognized by them, without comment). Reviewed (as Pseudacris streckeri illinoensis) by Smith, 1966, Cat. Am. Amph. Rept., 27: 1-2. Recognized by Collins, 1997, Herpetol. Circ., 25, on the basis of its diagnosability from Pseudacris streckeri and its allopatry. Moriarty and Cannatella, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 30: 409-420, discussed the arguable status of this taxon with respect to Pseudacris streckeri. Trauth, Johnson, and Trauth, 2007, Zootaxa, 1589: 23-32, rejected consideration of this taxon as a species, but suggested to recognize the Arkansas component as a "distinct population segment".
