Comment
See Duellman, 1970, Monogr. Mus. Nat. Hist. Univ. Kansas: 368-370. Formerly in the Hyla picta group; this group was transferred into the Hyla godmani group by Duellman, 2001, Hylid Frogs Middle Am., Ed. 2: 905-907, and who provided an account. Smith, Chiszar, and Lemos-Espinal, 2005, Herpetol. Rev., 36: 75, provided records for Chihuahua and Sonora (although the records in this paper for extreme southeastern Sonora are clearly legitimate, the records from Navojoa, Sonora, [collected by Shannon] are very likely in error, the specimens having come from some other locality—DRF).
