Fig. 3. Map showing locality records for Hyla phlebodes.
Distribution.—Hyla phlebodes inhabits humid tropical forests from southeastern Nicaragua southeastward on the Caribbean slopes and lowlands to the Canal Zone in Panamá, thence eastward in the Chucunaque Basin of eastern Panamá and onto the Pacific lowlands of Colombia ([Fig. 3]). The species also reaches the Pacific slopes in the Arenal Depression in northwestern Costa Rica and in the Panamanian isthmus, where it occurs in humid forests on the Pacific slope of El Valle and Cerro La Campana. Mostly the species is found at low elevations, but it occurs at 600 meters at Turrialba and at 700 meters at Finca San Bosco in Costa Rica.
