Resumen
Las ranas hílidas de la Hispaniola están representadas por cuatro especies endémicas: Hypsiboas heilprini, Osteopilus dominicensis, O. pulchrilineatus y O. vastus. Existen dosecomorfos larvales representados en estos hílidos: el léntico (O. dominicensis y O. pulchrilineatus) y el lótico (H. heilprini y O. vastus). Las larvas de estas cuatro especies pueden hallarse en simpatría, pero ocupando microhábitats diferentes. Los renacuajos hílidos de La Hispaniola alcanzan un tamaño moderado (hasta 57 mm de longitud total en H. heilprini). Se diferencian de las larvas de Peltophryne, Rhinella, Leptodactylus y Lithobates (los otros géneros con larvas en la isla) por tener el disco oral no emarginado y, de los primeros tres géneros, por la posición dextral de la abertura cloacal. Las deformidades orales observadas en la mayoría de las larvas de H. heilprini de Ébano Verde, Cordillera Central, se debieron a la presencia del hongo quitridiomiceto Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Se ofrece una clave para la identificación de las larvas.
