Hypsiboas hypselops


Hypsiboas hypselops is a nomen dubium. It was originally given by Edward [Drinker Cope] in 1871 to specimen collected from Pebas in northeastern Peru. However, Cope did not designate types, and whereabouts of the specimen he used are unknown. Based on George [Albert Boulenger]'s statement that it can be distinguished from Hyla crepitans by its acuminate snout, larger eye, and anterior femoral bands, the name Hypsiboas hypselops likely refers to some Boana species, but it is not possible to associate it with any particular known species.
