Hyla arborea Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 37 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy supporting this group.

COMMENTS: The contents of the Hyla arborea group are restricted to avoid its paraphyly. The inclusion of the species that were not included in the present analysis and do not show the NOR in chromosome 6 is tentative, because no evidence, other than the molecular data presented here, is known to support its monophyly.
