Hyla dolloi Werner, 1903, Zool. Anz., 26: 253. Syntypes: IRSNB 6481 (2 specimens); subsequently reported as IRSNB 1.017 by Lang, 1990, Doc. Trav., Inst. R. Sci. Nat. Belg., 59: 8. Type locality: "Brasilien"; corrected to "Haut Maringa, [Paraná,] Brésil" by Lang, 1990, Doc. Trav., Inst. R. Sci. Nat. Belg., 59: 8.

Scinax dolloi — Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 97.

English Names

Werner's Brazilian Treefrog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 55).

Distribution

Unknown although type locality is given as Brazil, later corrected by museum records to Upper Maringa, Paraná [presumably], Brazil.

Comment

Name not associated with any biological population (W. E. Duellman in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 133), although in the Scinax ruber clade, unassigned to group, of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 97. Should the type locality be correctly placed in Paraná, Brazil, this name may threaten the priority of Hyla fuscomarginata Lutz, 1925; Hyla fuscovaria Lutz, 1925; or Hyla squalirostris Lutz, 1925.
