	Hyla	Will find all records that contain stand-alone uses of Hyla: e.g., Hyla, Hyla arenicolor
Strings of words without quotation marks	Lithobates pipiens	Interprets this as "Lithobates OR pipiens" so will find the union of all records that contain either "Lithobates" or "pipiens": e.g., Lithobates omiltemanus, Hylorana pipiens
Strings of word with quotation marks	"Lithobates pipiens"	Interprets this as "Lithobates AND pipiens" so will return all records that have the character string "Lithobates pipiens" anywhere within a record: e.g., all members of the Lithobates pipiens complex.

Comment

Prior to the revision of Glaw and Vences, 2006, Organisms Divers. Evol., 6: 236-253, in the Mantidactylus (Gephyromantis) redimitus group of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 312. Rediagnosed and discussed by Vences, Glaw, and Andreone, 1997, Alytes, 14: 130-146, who considered it in the Mantidactylus (Gephyromantis) boulengeri group. Vences and Glaw, 2002, Herpetol. Rev., 33: 62, discussed erroneous records of this species and its distributional range. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 212-213, provided an account. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Mantidactylus klemmeri) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 430. See comment under Gephyromantis regarding the removal of this taxon from the subgenus Gephyromantis and phylogenetic proximity to the subgenus Laurentomantis.
