Scientific Name:

Smilisca sordida

Species Authority:

(Peters, 1863)

Common Name(s):

English

–

Veragua Cross-banded Treefrog

Synonym(s):

Hyla gabbi Cope, 1875

Hyla nigripes Cope, 1875

Hyla salvini Boulenger, 1882

Hyla sordida Peters, 1863

Smilisca gabbi (Cope, 1875)

Taxonomic Notes:

It is not clear that records from Colombia refer to the same species as those in Central America, in part, because of the large gap in the distribution (K.-H. Jungfer pers. comm.). It is possible that this is a complex of two or three species (Federico Bolaños pers. comm.).
