Pseudacris is from the Greek pseudes, meaning a false or deceptive, and acris, from the Greek akris, meaning a locust.
The California Treefrog is most closely related to the Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla).
Eggs are deposited singly and are slightly larger than those of the Pacific Treefrog (Pseudacris regilla).

 Kingsnake.com - Herpforum - RE: Sure, it probably isn't the final word....
Although Hedges thought that these species must be included to maintain a holophyletic Pseudacris, and it was indeed the reason for his original taxonomic proposal, both da Silva and Moriarty and Cannatella's data suggest that Hyla regilla and Hyla cadaverina can be excluded without affecting the holophyly of Pseudacris.
Pseudacris has been recognized traditionally because it is a monophyletic group and because it is a group of degenerate, secondarily terrestrial hylids with reduced toe pads.
Hedges, in redefining Pseudacris, found that his "Pseudacris" are frogs with a "cold-weather breeding season, a round or ovoid testis, and a fl pigment covering on the testis." As I pointed out, breeding season is not a taxonomic character and the morphology of the testis apply only to the males of these species.

 AllRefer.com - tree frog (Vertebrate Zoology) - Encyclopedia
Most tree frogs lay their eggs in or near water, where the tadpole develops.
Many species, such as the spring peeper (Hyla gratiosa) and the chorus frogs (Pseudacris species), are known for the song they produce when they gather near ponds to breed in the spring.
In one group of tree frogs the eggs are carried in a mass on the back of the female, exposed or in a pouch of skin.

The Northern Spring Peeper (top photo) is easily identified by a more or less distinct X-shaped mark on its back that gives rise to part of its scientific name,
the species is now classified as Pseudacris to show it is more closely related to Chorus Frogs than to other tree frogs.
Peepers do share one prominent, visible tree frog characteristic: The toe pad (above and below right), a round enlargement at the end of each digit that allows tree frogs to climb on virtually any vertical surface.
