Hyla arborea Group DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 37 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy supporting this group. COMMENTS: The contents of the Hyla arborea group are restricted to avoid its paraphyly. The inclusion of the species that were not included in the present analysis and do not show the NOR in chromosome 6 is tentative, because no evidence, other than the molecular data presented here, is known to support its monophyly. CONTENTS: Fourteen species. Hyla annectans (Jerdon, 1870); Hyla arborea (Linnaeus, 1758); Hyla chinensis Günther, 1858; Hyla hallowellii Thomson, 1912; Hyla immaculata Boettger, 1888; Hyla intermedia Boulenger, 1882; Hyla meridionalis Boettger, 1874; Hyla sanchiangensis Pope, 1929; Hyla sarda (De Betta, 1853); Hyla savignyi Audouin, 1827; Hyla simplex Boettger, 1901; Hyla tsinlingensis Liu and Hu, 1966; Hyla ussuriensis Nikolsky, 1918; Hyla zhaopingensis Tang and Zhang, 1984.
