Distribution

Known only from the type locality (São Paulo) and one locality in Paraná and another in northeastern Santa Catarina in southeastern Brazil, presumably to be found more widely and in intervening areas.

Comment

Stated to be in the Hyla catharinae complex (Scinax catharinae complex of this list) and very similar to "Hyla angrensis" (Scinax angrensis of this list). In the Scinax catharinae clade, Scinax catharinae group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 95. Conte, Garey, Lingnau, Silva, Armstrong, and Hartmann, 2009, Check List, 5: 202-209, provided the first record for Paraná, Brazil. Lucas and Garcia, 2011, Check List, 7: 13-16, provided a record in the northeastern part of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and discussed the range.
