Hypsiboas punctatus Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 30 transformations in mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy for the group.

COMMENTS: We do not see any reason to keep the former Hyla granosa and H. punctata groups separated, as our analysis shows that the two nominal species form a monophyletic group and they are phenotypically similar, so we include all the species in the Hypsiboas punctatus group. The inclusion of Hyla alemani , H. atlantica , H. hobbsi , and H. ornatissima is tentative, based on their previous association with the former H. granosa and H. punctata groups. The inclusion of Hyla picturata is based on our analysis.
