Comment

Subgenus Rana, Rana berlandieri subgroup of the Rana pipiens group as defined by Hillis, Frost, and Wright, 1983, Syst. Zool., 32: 132-143. Although tentatively considered a species distinct from Rana berlandieri by Hillis, 1981, Copeia, 1981: 312-319, subsequently authors (e.g., Lee, 1996, Amph. Rept. Yucatan Peninsula: 123, and Campbell, 1998, Amph. Rept. N. Guatemala Yucatan Belize: 71) did not accept the distinction. Zaldívar-Riverón, León-Regagnon, and Nieto-Montes de Oca, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 30: 38-49, recognized the species on the basis of molecular evidence. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 38, summarized the departmental distribution in Honduras.
