TYPE SPECIES: Rana nigrita LeConte,

1825, by monotypy.

Chorophilus Baird, 1854 . Type species: Rana nigrita LeConte, 1825 , by original designation.

Helocaetes Baird, 1854 . Type species: Hyla triseriata Wied­Neuwied, 1839 , by subsequent designation of Schmidt (1953).

Hyliola Mocquard, 1899 . Type species: Hyla regilla Baird and Girard, 1852 , by subsequent designation of Stejneger (1907).

Limnaoedus Mittleman and List, 1953 . Type species: Hyla ocularis Bosc and Daudin, 1801 , by original designation.

DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 37 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. The m. transversus metatarsus II broad, occupying the entire length of metatarsus II optimizes in this analysis as a morphological synapomorphy of this genus.

CONTENTS: Fourteen species placed in four clades.
