Lynch in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 270. Type locality: Not stated, although if Hylodes incertus and Hylodes anonymus represent the same animal the type locality presumably is the same as that stated for Hylodes anonymus.
Hylodes anonymus Lutz, 1927, Mem. Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, 20: 40, 55. Types: Not designated, although presumably originally in IOC, now MNRJ.
