1824 Abbildungen: Lief. 7 ( fig. 2 of composite pl.). 1825 Beitra¨ge: 535.

PRESENT STATUS: Phyllodytes luteolus ( Wied, 1820) .

REMARKS: Publication dates not from the 1824 Abbildungen as stated by Bokermann

(1966b) and others, but from the following footnote in the the 1820 Reise:

Ein noch unbeschriebener kleiner Laubfrosch, Hyla luteola , von blassgelblicher Farbe mit einem dunkleren Striche durch das Auge.

The specimen was taken from bromeliads on the way between Quartel do Riacho and Rio Doce, before reaching the Quartel da Regência, then a military outpost with five soldiers and now the city of Regeˆncia, which Bokermann (1966a, 1966b) considered the type locality.

‘‘ Hyla luteola W.’’ is listed as species no. 299 in Wied’s 1860 manuscript catalog, but there are no specimens in the collection.
