Accepted by S. Carranza: 18 May 2006; published: 12 Jun. 2006The taxonomic status of Hyla roeschmanni De Grys, 1938 (Anura: Hylidae) is reviewed. We place Hyla roeschmanni as a junior synonym of Hypsiboas raniceps Cope, 1862. Because the holotype of Hyla roeschmanni was destroyed, we designate a neotype from Department Beni, Bolivia, and provide a description of the neotype.This work was partially funded by the projects REN/GLO 2001-1046 and CGL2005-03156 of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (I. De la Riva, Principal Investigator).Peer reviewe
