TYPE SPECIES: Hyla luteola Wied­Neu­

wied, 1824, by monotypy.

Amphodus Peters , ‘‘1872’’ [1873]. Type species: Amphodus wuchereri Peters , ‘‘1872’’ [1873], by original designation.

DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 174 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. Two morphological synapomorphies of this taxon are the presence of odontoids on the mandible and on the cultriform process of the parasphenoid (Noble, 1931).

CONTENTS: Eleven species placed in four species groups (Caramaschi et al., 2004a), one of which is monotypic.
