Comment

The sole member of the Hyla chlorostea group according to Duellman, De la Riva, and Wild, 1997, Sci. Pap. Nat. Hist. Mus. Univ. Kansas, 3: 31. Faivovich, Haddad, Garcia, Frost, Campbell, and Wheeler, 2005, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 294: 111, could not assign this taxon to any of the tribes within the Hylinae, but could exclude it from Hyla sensu stricto. Faivovich and De la Riva, 2006, Copeia, 2006: 785-791, allocated the species to the Hyloscirtus armatus group. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Hyla chlorostea) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph.
