Comment

In the Hyalinobatrachium fleischmanni group, according to Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991, Lozania, 57: 1-30. See account by Savage, 2002, Amph. Rept. Costa Rica: 369-370. Kubicki, 2004, Rev. Biol. Tropical, 52: 215-218, reported on the rediscovery of this species in southeastern Costa Rica. See account (as Hyalinobatrachuim cardiacalyptum) by McCranie and Wilson, 2002, Amph. Honduras: 216-219, who noted its similarity to Hyalinobatrachium chirripoi. McCranie, 2007, Herpetol. Rev., 38: 38, summarized the departmental distribution of Hyalinobatrachium cardiacalyptum in Honduras. See map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status of nominal Hyalinobatrachium cardiacalyptum in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 218. See statement of geographic range, habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 613. Kubicki, 2007, Glass Frogs Costa Rica: 170-181, provided an account and detailed range map for Costa Rica.
