TYPE
LOCALITY
.— “Fernando Po”,
Bioko
,
Equatorial Guinea and “
Angola
”.
Perret (1975)
restricted the type locality to “Fernando Po” by
lectotype
designation
.

.— This species ranges over a vast area, from south-eastern
Nigeria
to
Democratic Republic of Congo
and southwards to
Gabon
and
Republic of Congo
. In
Equatorial Guinea
, it has been recorded both in
Río Muni
(
De la Riva 1994
;
Bell et al. 2017
) and Bioko (
Boulenger 1900
,
1906a
;
Mertens 1941
,
1965
;
Hydeman et al. 2017
;
Bell et al. 2017
) (

COMMENTS
.—
Hyperolius ocellatus
sensu lato
shows a complex phylogeographic structure formed by several lineages (
Bell et al. 2017
), which need taxonomic revision. Currently, there is one mitochondrial lineage on Bioko, whereas
Río Muni
could lie in a contact zone between two mainland mitochondrial lineages (
Bell et al. 2017
). Descriptions of the advertisement calls from Monte Alén were provided by
Bosch et al. (2000)
.
