Amphibian Species of the World 5.6, an Online Reference

Hyla hypochondrialis Daudin, 1800, Hist. Nat. Quad. Ovip., Livr. 2: 20, pl. 4, fig. 1. Type(s): Levaillant collection, by original designation, although Daudin, 1802 "An. XI", Hist. Nat. Rain. Gren. Crap., Quarto: 50, mentions specimens in the collection of Levaillant, the MNHNP, the collection in Uppsala (= ZIUU), and ZISP. Designated as frog in a manuscript illustration in the central library of the MNHNP by Lescure, Marty, Marty, Starace, Thomay, and Letellier, 1995, Rev. Fr. Aquar. Herpetol., 22: 40. Nevertheless, one presumes that the animal figured on pl. 10, fig. 1, of Daudin, 1802 "An. XI", Hist. Nat. Rain. Gren. Crap., Quarto: 30, is one of the types of this taxon if not the holotype. Type locality: "Surinam".

Comment

See Cei, 1980, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Monogr., 2: 437-439, and Lescure, Marty, Marty, Starace, Thomay, and Letellier, 1995, Rev. Fr. Aquar. Herpetol., 22: 35-50. In the Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis group of Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 117, Caramaschi, 2006, Arq. Mus. Nac., Rio de Janeiro, 64: 159-179, and Faivovich, Haddad, Baêta, Jungfer, Álvares, Brandão, Sheil, Barrientos, Barrio-Amorós, Cruz, and Wheeler, 2010, Cladistics, 26: 259. The incorrect subsequent spelling hypocondrialis has been widely used. Lescure and Marty, 2000, Collect. Patrimoines Nat., Paris, 45: 102-103, provided a brief account and photo. Gorzula and Señaris, 1999 "1998", Scient. Guaianae, 8: 40, commented on range in Venezuela. See comment under Phyllomedusa azurea. See account for Surinam population by Ouboter and Jairam, 2012, Amph. Suriname: 208-209.
