M'paluwe (PEM A11367 , male, 30.9 mm SUL) . Comments Sub-adult male specimen was collected from mid-elevation slopes while calling from low vegetation. This species is part of the Leptopelis argenteus group. Some authors regard this as a valid species ( Poynton and Broadley 1987 , Schiotz 1999 , Channing and Howell 2006 , Pickersgill 2007 , Du Preez and Carruthers 2009 , Mercurio 2011 , Ohler and Fretey 2014 ), while Frost (2016) considers it as a junior synonym of Leptopelis argenteus based on similar calls. Herein we consider Leptopelis broadleyi as a valid species pending further investigation.
