The holotype of _Hyla festae_ is a female having a snout-vent length of 75.0 mm; the diameter of the tympanum is 3.9 mm, 57.4 percent of the diameter of the eye. The skin is smooth on the dorsum and areolate on the anterior part of the flanks. The dorsum is pale brown with a large median longitudinal dark brown blotch on the back and broad transverse bars, narrowly outlined by cream, on the limbs. Dark brown spots are present on the flanks; the posterior surfaces of the thighs are dark brown. The throat and belly are grayish white with irregular dark brown spots. The holotype of _Hyla carri_ is a female having a snout-vent length of 66.1 mm; the diameter of the tympanum is 4.7 mm, 81.0 percent of the diameter of the eye. The skin on the dorsum is smooth with scattered small tubercles and areolate on the anterior part of the flanks. The dorsum is tan with irregular dark brown blotches on the back and transverse bars on the limbs; all dorsal markings are narrowly outlined by creamy white. Dark brown spots are present on the flanks; the venter and posterior surfaces of the thighs are tan without dark spots. The holotype of _Hyla cabrerai_ is a female having a snout-vent length of 52.7 mm; the diameter of the tympanum is 4.0 mm, 76.9 percent of the diameter of the eye. The skin on the dorsum is weakly tuberculate and that on the anterior part of the flanks is areolate. The dorsum is creamy tan with dark brown markings (interorbital bar, reticulations on occiput, three longitudinal streaks on back, and broad transverse bars on limbs). Irregular dark brown spots are present on the flanks. The venter is pinkish tan with small reddish brown spots on the throat and darker brown spots on the chest and belly. In their description of _Hyla cabrerai_, Cochran and Goin (1970:217) stated: "This species, together with _buckleyi_ and _pearsoni_ certainly make a closely knit group.... Both _buckleyi_ and _cabrerai_ have long hind legs, with the extended heel reaching to the tip of the snout, while in _pearsoni_ the extended heel reaches only to the eye. _H. buckleyi_ has the belly dusky, while it is heavily spotted in _cabrerai_ and is reticulated in _pearsoni_. _H. cabrerai_ seems to have the heaviest hands with the most webbing between the fingers; the other two species have the webbing reduced between the fingers." The description of _Hyla cabrerai_ was based on three specimens. We have examined the holotype and one paratype (WCAB 13284 from Territorio do Amapa, Brasil). Another paratype in the private collection of C. J. Goin from Cano Tui, between Mitu and Raudal de Yurupari, Comisaria de Vaupes, Colombia, was not examined.
