DIAGNOSIS: We are not aware of any synapomorphy supporting the monophyly of this group; see below.

COMMENTS: We did not include any exemplar of this group, and as such we did not test its monophyly. See the earlier discussion regarding its position in the South American I clade. Considering the topology of Cophomantini, synapomorphies suggested for the Bokermannohyla claresignata group can only be maintained if assumed to be reversals (i.e., a enlarged larval oral disc, complete marginal papillae, and large number of labial tooth rows are also present in Myersiohyla new genus and the Hyloscirtus armatus group; complete marginal papillae and large number of labial tooth rows are also present in the H. bogotensis and H. larinopygion groups; the marginal papillae are also complete or with an extremely reduced gap in other species of Bokermannohyla). This would be unproblematic if it were a result of the analysis, but we prefer not to assume it a priori. While these character states cannot be considered at this stage to support the monophyly of the B. claresignata group, considering that its two species are barely distinguishable from each other, we think its nonmonophyly is unlikely and we continue to recognize the group as a hypothesis to be tested.
