Hypsiboas punctatus Group DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 30 transformations in mitochondrial protein and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. We are not aware of any morphological synapomorphy for the group. COMMENTS: We do not see any reason to keep the former Hyla granosa and H. punctata groups separated, as our analysis shows that the two nominal species form a monophyletic group and they are phenotypically similar, so we include all the species in the Hypsiboas punctatus group. The inclusion of Hyla alemani, H. atlantica, H. hobbsi, and H. ornatissima is tentative, based on their previous association with the former H. granosa and H. punctata groups. The inclusion of Hyla picturata is based on our analysis. CONTENTS: Eight species. Hypsiboas alemani (Rivero, 1964), new comb.; Hypsiboas atlanticus (Caramaschi and Velosa, 1996), new comb.; Hypsiboas granosus (Boulenger, 1882), new comb.; Hypsiboas hobbsi (Cochran and Goin, 1970), new comb.; Hypsiboas ornatissimus (Noble, 1923), new comb.; Hypsiboas picturatus (Boulenger, 1882), new comb.; Hypsiboas punctatus (Schneider, 1799), new comb.; Hypsiboas sibleszi (Rivero, 1971), new comb.
