Hyla strigilata Spix, 1824, Animal. Nova Spec. Nov. Test. Ran. Brasil.: 38. Type(s): Including animal figured in pl. 10, fig. 3 of the original publication; holotype ireported as ZSM 2369/0, now lost, by Hoogmoed and Gruber, 1983, Spixiana, München, Suppl., 9: 368-369, this confirmed by Glaw and Franzen, 2006, Spixiana, München, 29: 169. The resport by Duellman, 1977, Das Tierreich, 95: 104, of the lost type as ZSM 2531/0 is in error. Pimenta, Faivovich, and Pombal, 2007, Zootaxa, 1441: 41, designated MNRJ 38098 as neotype. Type locality: "Provincia Bahiae", Brazil. Neotype from "Fazenda Pedra Formosa (13°57′S, 39°27′W), Municipality of Ibirapitanga, State of Bahia, Brazil".

Comment

In the Scinax catharinae clade of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 95-96. See discussion by Duellman and Wiens, 1992, Occas. Pap. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas, 151: 1-23. Hoogmoed and Gruber, 1983, Spixiana, München, Suppl., 9: 369, noted that the lost holotype of this species may have been confused with the types of Hyla nebulosa Spix due to similar habitus. Pimenta, Faivovich, and Pombal, 2007, Zootaxa, 1441: 35-49, discussed this taxon, designated a neotype, and provided an account.
