Comment
In the Ptychohyla euthysanota group. Most of the former reports of Ptychohyla spinipollex refer to Ptychohyla hypomykter; see McCranie and Wilson, 1993, Southwest. Nat., 38: 100-104, for summary of the problem. See accounts by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 1014-1017, and McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 320-324. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 38, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras.
