Exerodonta sumichrasti View in CoL Group

DIAGNOSIS: This species group is diagnosed by 76 transformations in nuclear and mitochondrial proteins and ribosomal genes. See appendix 5 for a complete list of these molecular synapomorphies. Putative morphological synapomorphies of this group are the massive nasals (Duellman, 1970) and, in the species with a known tadpole, the enlarged larval oral disc (homoplastic with the former Hyla mixomaculata group), and the 3/6 to 7 labial tooth row formula (Canseco Márquez et al., 2003; Duellman, 1970).

COMMENTS: The illustrations of the oral discs of Hyla smaragdina , H. sumichrasti (Duellman, 1970) , and H. xera (Canseco Márquez et al., 2003) show that they share the multiple interruption of the last posterior labial tooth row into shorter rows, possibly another synapomorphy.

Species of Exerodonta Unassigned to

Group

Considering that in our analysis Hyla melanomma and H. perkinsi are a grade leading to the E. sumichrasti group, we are not assigning to any group these and the other species associated with the former Hyla pinorum group (Duellman, 1970; Snyder, 1972; Porras and Wilson, 1987; Campbell and Duellman, 2000). These species are: Exerodonta abdivita (Campbell and Duellman, 2000) , new comb.; Exerodonta bivocata (Duellman and Hoyt, 1961) , new comb.; Exerodonta catracha (Porras and Wilson, 1987) , new comb.; Exerodonta juanitae (Snyder, 1972) , new comb.; Exerodonta melanomma (Taylor, 1940) , new comb.; Exerodonta perkinsi (Campbell and Brodie, 1992) , new comb.; Exerodonta pinorum (Taylor, 1937) , new comb.
