Comments
Comments:David Nicolson - ITIS Data Development Coordinator Frost (2000) states "Hyla wrightorum (the northern-most component) was tentatively recognized by Sullivan, 1986, Great Basin Nat., 46: 378-381, but discussion was lacking. E. Gergus (pers. comm.), suggests on the basis of call data and allozymes, that two major components could be recognized: Hyla wrightorum (from Arizona to, but not including the state of Mexico, Mexico) and Hyla eximia (Central and southern Mexico), although other species might be diagnosable"
