Description

Family Hylidae Rafinesque, 1815

Remarks: We follow Duellman’s et al. (2016) recent revision, where Phyllomedusinae was raised to family level (Phyllomedusidae, see below). Five subfamilies are considered under the family rank in Venezuela: Cophomantinae, Dendropsophinae, Lophyohylinae, Pseudinae, and Scinaxinae. Dubois (2017) argues that Boana Gray, 1825 has priority over Hypsiboas.
