Genetics have been done on populations of the two gray tree frogs throughout their range and they found H. versicolor to be completely absent from the southeastern US. This is the range map for H. versicolor: http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/index.html?tabfile=http://amphibiaweb.org/tmpfiles/510555&configfile=http://amphibiaweb.org/tmpfiles/bm_config_498096.xml&ViewResults=tab&sourcename=AmphibiaWeb+Species+Map:+Hyla+versicolor&amphibiaweb=true&label=1&opacity=0.50
