Hylomantis buckleyi Group

DIAGNOSIS: The only apparent morphological synapomorphy of this group is the possession of bright orange flanks in life (Cannatella, 1980).

COMMENTS: We included a single species of this group, and as such we did not we did not test its monophyly. We recognize it following Cannatella (1980), pending a rigorous test of its monophyly. Ruiz­Carranza et al. (1988) tentatively included Phyllomedusa danieli in the P. buckleyi group because of the reduced webbing, absence of parotoid glands, toe I shorter than toe II, presence of a calcar, and unpigmented palpebrum. As the authors noted, these characteristics are also shared with Phasmahyla and Hylomantis (they refer to these genera using the former species groups of Phyllomedusa ), but some also with Phrynomedusa . One difference they noticed was the golden iris coloration instead of white; however, in the present scenario the polarity of this state is unclear (a white iris is present in Phasmahyla and Hy­ lomantis, as redefined here). A difference is the large snout–vent length (SVL) of P. danieli compared with the species of Hylomantis (the only reported specimen of P. danieli , a female, is 81 mm SVL; females of the other species reach a maximum of 57 mm, according to Cannatella [1980]). Phyllomedusa danieli shares with the Hylomantis buckleyi group its only apparent morphological synapomorphy (but see comments above), the bright orange flanks in life. Because of this, we tentatively include P. danieli in Hylomantis .
