Illinois Chorus Frog
Pseudacris illinoensis Smith, 1951

Current SSAR Comments:
Barrow et al. (2015, Molecular Ecology 24: 4739–4758) determined that P. illinoensis separated from P. streckeri only recently, and although the taxa are not yet reciprocally monophyletic, they have already accumulated genetic differences. The authors advocated treating P. illinoensis as a genetically distinct management unit but did not advise on taxonomic revision.
