The Hyla microcephala group of frogs consists of small tree frogs primarily distributed throughout Central America. In this detailed study, Duellman and Fouquette examined species within this group, analyzing their physical characteristics, behavior, habitat, vocalizations, and geographic distribution.The paper features an in-depth analysis of species differentiation within the group, focusing on distinctions between species based on their morphology (size, coloration, and markings) and acoustic behaviors (mating calls). The authors conducted fieldwork to gather data on the frogs’ breeding patterns, habitats (such as tropical forests and wetlands), and ecological interactions with other species.
