Hyperolius tettensis Peters, 1854: 628.
Holotype.
ZMB 4812,
"Tette"
[Tete Province, Mozambique], coll. Wilhelm Carl Hartwig Peters.
Present name.
Hyperolius argus
Peters, 1854.
Remarks.
Peters (1882b
: 164) mentioned the sole female type specimen collected by him at
"Tette"
and synonymized it with a species he described,
H. flavoviridis.
The latter was later considered by
Laurent (1961
: 74) as a synonym of another of
Peters'
species, namely
Hyperolius argus
. The type is depicted by
Peters (1882b
, pl. 22, fig. 5). See also remarks on
Hyperolius flavoviridis
