Comment

Removed from the synonymy of Hyla minuta bivittata by Langone, 1990, Comun. Zool. Mus. Hist. Nat. Montevideo, 12: 1-9, where it had been placed by Barrio, 1967, Physis, Buenos Aires, 26: 523. See also Lavilla, 1994 "1992", Acta Zool. Lilloana, 42: 71. Specimens from southern Brazil formerly referred to this species are Hyla pinima. See brief account by Klappenbach and Langone, 1992, An. Mus. Nac. Hist. Nat. Montevideo, Ser. 2, 8: 187-188. Langone, 1997, Cuad. Herpetol., 11: 89, provided the Brazilian record. Achaval and Olmos, 2003, Anf. Rept. Uruguay, ed. 2: 43, provided a brief account and photograph for the Uruguay population. In the Scinax ruber clade, Scinax uruguayus group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 97. Giraudo, Krauczuk, and Baldo, 2005, Cuad. Herpetol., 18: 61-66, provided the record from Corrientes, Argentina. Brusquetti and Lavilla, 2006, Cuad. Herpetol., 20: 27, suggested that this species likely occurs in adjacent Paraguay.
