Comment

In the Pseudacris regilla group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 106. Before its transferral to Pseudacris, considered a member of the Hyla eximia group. See (as Hyla regilla) Jameson, Mackey, and Richmond, 1966, Proc. California Acad. Sci., Ser. 4, 33: 551-620, and Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 484-493; seven subspecies are recognized. Stebbins, 2003, Field Guide W. Rept. Amph., Ed. 3: 222-223, provided a brief account, figure, and map. Highton, 2000, in Bruce et al., Biol. Plethodontid Salamanders: 234, discussed the previously published allozyme evidence (including that of Case, Haneline, and Smith, 1975, Syst. Zool., 24: 281-295) and suggested that the existing genetic data are not consistent with this being a single species. Recuero, Martínez-Solano, Parra-Olea, and García-París, 2006, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 39: 293-304, partitioned this taxon into Pseudacris pacifica (northern part of range), Pseudacris regilla (central part of former range), and Pseudacris hypochondriaca (southern part of former range). However, due to an inadvertent misapplication of names, the oldest names for the northern range is actually Pseudacris regilla and for the central part of the range the oldest available name is Pseudacris sierra ( Recuero, Martínez-Solano, Parra-Olea, and García-París, 2006, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 41: 511).
