We present the updated distribution data of the Hyla arborea species complex
in Serbia. Hyla arborea inhabits all biogeographic regions, while Hyla orientalis
inhabits only the easternmost parts of north-eastern, eastern and south-eastern
Serbia. Potential hybrid zone encompasses parts of central and southern Serbia
from the Đerdap gorge, over Niš to Bosilegrad. Since the taxonomic separation between the tree frog taxa was not yet recognized in national nomenclature, we
propose the official Serbian names. The species H. arborea will keep the standard
Serbian name “Gatalinka”, while for the species H. orientalis we propose the name
“Istočna gatalinka”.
