Summary ⁴

There are two species of "Gray" Treefrog in North America. The two species are visually indistinguishable and can only be told apart in the live frogs by their mating calls. The two species are the Gray Treefrog (Hyla versicolor) and Cope's Gray Treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). They are visually indistinguishable but are clearly two separate species of frog. Hyla versicolor is tetraploid (having 4 sets of chromosomes) while Hyla chrysoscelis is diploid (having two sets of chromosomes).

There are no records of the Gray Treefrog (H. versicolor) in Bexar or any of the surrounding counties. The only documented records are all for Cope's Gray Treefrogs (H. chrysoscelis). The closest documented records of Hyla versicolor are found in Bastrop State Park and Palmetto State Park some 40 miles east of the county line.

So in the absence of any supporting data, we can safely assume that Gray Treefrog (H. versicolor) does not occur in Bexar County.
