Hyla chalconotus Schlegel, 1837

Schlegel, 1837 -1844. Abbild. Neuer Unvollst. Amph., 1: 23; pl. IX, fig. 1. Current name: Hydrophylax chalconotus ( Schlegel, 1837)

Syntypes: RMNH 5364, 1 spec. Loc.: “Java” [ Indonesia]. Leg.: S. Müller. possibly RMNH 4264, 4 spec. Loc.: “Java” [ Indonesia]. Leg.: H. Boie and H.C. Macklot.

Remarks. The type localities are “Java” (figured specimen in Schlegel, 1837: plate IX) and “Sumatra” ( Schlegel, 1837: 25). S. Müller collected specimens of R. chalconota from both localities, but the specimens from Sumatra could not be located in the Leiden museum. The specimens from RMNH 4264 are not explicitly mentioned by Schlegel, but they are likely to have been examined, according to M.S. Hoogmoed (Leiden Museum records). Though the publication date on the first page of Schlegel’s Abbildungen is 1837-1844, the work was issued in parts. See Stejneger’s Herpetology of Japan (1907: 540) for the publication dates.
