About this book
A Review of the Frogs of the Hyla bistincta Group is by William Edward Duellman, dated March 2, 1964. The contents list, among others, a key to the species and accounts of Hyla bistincta Cope, Hyla charadricola new species, Hyla robertsorum Taylor and Hyla pachyderma Taylor. The text describes the five species comprising the Hyla bistincta group as moderate-sized hylids having rather blunt heads and robust bodies.
The text says the known tadpoles have ventral mouths, two or more rows of labial papillae, and long tails with low fins. The account of Hyla robertsorum Taylor gives a diagnosis of maximum snout-vent length in males, 48 mm., snout in dorsal profile rounded, and tarsal fold short and weak. The text says the presence of vocal slits and the ability to call further indicate that Hyla bistincta is the primitive member of this group.
