Hyloscirtus larinopygion Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 32 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 this group.

Hypsiboas Wagler, 1830

TYPE SPECIES: Hyla palmata Daudin, 1802 (5 Rana boans Linnaeus, 1758 ), by subsequent designation by implication of Duellman, 1977 (not monotypy as stated by Duellman, 1977: 24).

Boana Gray, 1825 . Type species: Rana boans Lin­

naeus, 1758, by monotypy. Coined as a syno­

nym of Hyla and never subsequently validated

as available under article 11.6.1 ( ICZN, 1999).

Auletris Wagler, 1830 . Type species: Rana boans Linnaeus, 1758 , by subsequent designation of Stejneger (1907).

Lobipes Fitzinger, 1843 . Type species: Hyla palmata Daudin, 1801 (5 Rana boans Linnaeus, 1758 ), by original designation.

Phyllobius Fitzinger, 1843 . Type species: Hyla albomarginata Spix, 1824 , by original designation. Primary homonym of Phyllobius Schoenherr, 1824 .

Centrotelma Burmeister, 1856 . Type species: Hyla infulata Wied­Neuwied, 1824 (5 H. albomarginata Spix, 1824 ), by subsequent implication by Duellman (1977) (not monotypy as stated by Duellman, 1977: 24).

Hylomedusa Burmeister, 1856 . Type species: Hyla crepitans Wied­Neuwied, 1825 , by subsequent designation by implication of Duellman (1977) (not monotypy as stated by Duellman, 1977: 24).

Cinclidium Cope, 1867 . Type species: Cinclidium granulatum Cope, 1867 (5 Rana boans Linnaeus, 1758 ), by monotypy. Primary homonym of Cinclidium Blyth, 1842 .

Cophomantis Peters, 1870 . Type species: Cophomantis punctillata Peters, 1870 (5 Hyla semilineata Spix, 1824 ) by monotypy.

Cincliscopus Cope, ‘‘1870’’ [1871]. Replacement name for Cinclidium Cope, 1867 .

DIAGNOSIS: This genus is diagnosed by 33 transformations in nuclear and 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 this genus.

COMMENTS: This genus is resurrected for all species formerly included in the Hyla albopunctata , H. boans , H. geographica , H. granosa , H. pulchella , and H. punctata species groups, the H. albomarginata complex, and several species previously unassigned to any group. Most of the former species groups are retained using the new combinations and its contents are redefined in accordance with our results to avoid paraphyly.

It is tempting to suggest that the presence of a prepollical spine is a possible synapomorphy of this group. However, as discussed earlier, further anatomical studies are necessary to determine whether this character state is homologous with that present in Bokermannohyla .

Duellman (2001) and Savage (2002b) suggested that the name Boana Gray, 1825 could be applied to a clade of Gladiator Frogs. Gray (1825) suggested the name Boana as a synonym of Hyla , and Stejneger (1907) subsequently designated Hyla boans as its type species. Unfortunately, as far as we can determine from literature research, the name Boana has never been used in combination with an active species name, therefore failing to fulfill the criterion established by article 11.6.1 (ICZN, 1999) for the availability of names originally proposed as synonyms. Duellman (2001) further stated that if Hyla punctata were included within this group, ‘‘the generic Hylaplesia Boie would be included in the synonymy of Boana .’’ However, this is not the case since, as discussed by Dubois (1982), the type species of Hylaplesia is Rana tinctoria Cuvier, 1797 (5 Dendrobates tinctorius ), by subsequent designation of Duméril and Bibron (1841).

Wagler (1830) did not combine Hypsiboas with any of the species included in this genus. Subsequent authors (e.g., Tschudi, 1838; Fitzinger, 1843, Cope, 1862) considered it masculine, as we are doing here.

CONTENTS: Seventy species placed in seven species groups, plus two species unassigned to group.
