Talk:Hyla

Changes in the taxon name

In 2005, Faivovich et al. revised the status of the family Hylidae (Rafinesque, 1815) and divided the genus Hyla into many revived genus only with this purpose (Hyloscirtus, Hypsiboas, Dendropsophus etc...). The whole document can be found on the web.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 168.176.160.15 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 1 July 2006.

Why not go ahead and bring the changes into WP? Don't forget to include all links from Hyla and cross-reference the new genera back to Hyla--GRM 21:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Author(itie)s for/of scientific names

It seems that whoever wrote this article may have made the unilateral decision to put all authority names in brackets. This is not strictly correct. Those familiar with the Hyla species should edit the file if/where it is necessary to remove the brackets--GRM 21:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikispecies is where that convention seems to be going. As this is just an encyclopaedia, it doesn't really require it. We might end up doing something in the taxobox (that gives me an idea, just wait a bit) to indicate whether it was in the original genus, but otherwise it can be kept like this for now. Thanks. --liquidGhoul 00:55, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

No it cannot. It is factually wrong. Best to remove this stuff to the taxobox entirely, it is a vandalism- and error-bait. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 14:38, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Serious factual problems

The article states that the genus Hyla contains thirty-two species, but the list contains 40. Are many of these old scientific names? Additionally, the article states that Hylidae is a family of New World tree frogs, but then says that this genus contains species from the Old and New World. What's going on here? I'll do a few clarifications in the meantime. --Adamrush 15:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I too am confused, not only do the numbers not add up, but I'm not sure whether I should add the bird-voiced treefrog (Hyla avivoca) or not. Sarrandúin ^{[ Talk Contribs ]} 21:31, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hyla visual identification

• 
  H. arborea
• 
  H. meridionalis
• 
  H. meridionalis (bad image name from the 80's ^-^)

Hello, according to eol website

1. H. arborea - green, dark line from the noze to the top of the legs.
2. H. meriodinalis - green, dark line from the noze to the shoulders.
3. ??

But I'm not sure of this. Please, expert need ! Yug (talk) 22:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, in my opinion the identification of the third picture as a specimen of Hyla meridionalis is correct. The image's quality might be not the best, but you can see that the frog lacks a dark line at the body side. Moreover, the snout is rather long - longer than Hyla arborea normally has. Last not least, I know the author Michael Linnenbach as an expert in amphibians. -- Regards, Fice 08:53, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh... I understand. I noticed the similar shape, but I was astonished by the 3rd frog color (blue ! O.o), her thin look, and almost-missing black line from the nose to the shoulder.

But I now notice that vegetals are also blue, which is close to impossible. I conclude that the picture is just more blue than expected. Afterwhat : the 2nd image is probably a female, while the 3rd, yes, can be a male individu with a softer black line. If Michael Linnenbach can confirm, then I encourage to delete this misleading blue picture. Yug (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

hello Yug,

this individuum is really Hyla meridionalis. Sorry this picture is digitally converted from a slide from the 1980-years. Hence the foto of the frog looks more blue as natural.

with kind regards Michael Linnenbach

Ok, noticed. Yug (talk) 19:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
