Comment

For discussion see Lutz, 1973, Brazil. Spec. Hyla: 164. In the Scinax ruber clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 96. See Klappenbach and Langone, 1992, An. Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Montevideo, Ser. 2, 8: 183, for discussion of confusion surrounding the synonymy of Hyla lindneri. Langone, 1992, Bol. Asoc. Herpetol. Argentina, 8: 5-6, discussed the status of Hyla madeira Bokermann, 1966, Hyla lindneri Müller and Hellmich, 1936, and Hyla parkeri Gaige, 1929 (all three now junior synonyms of Scinax fuscomarginatus); Scinax trilineatus (Hoogmoed and Gorzula, 1979); and Hyla robersimoni Donoso-Barros, 1966 (now a junior synonym of Scinax ruber). See comment under Scinax parkeri with which many records may be confused. See comment under Scinax trilineata, a possible synonym. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 11, briefly discussed the range in Paraguay. Leite, Sampaio, Silva-Leite, Toledo, Loebmann, and Leite, 2008, Check List, 4: 475-477, discussed the range and provided new records from northeastern Brazil. Annunziata, Castro, and Fontenele, 2009, Herpetol. Rev., 40: 110, provided a record from Piauí, northeastern Brazil.
