The herpetofauna of the Cubango, Cuito, and lower Cuando river catchments of south-eastern Angola Author Conradie, Werner Author Bills, Roger Author Branch, William R. text Amphibian & Reptile Conservation 2016 e 126 2016-10-25 10 2 6 36 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.13154851 1525-9153 13154851 Xenopus muelleri (Peters, 1844) Tropical Platanna Material: PEM A10789 (29) and 10969‒70 (44a); SA- IAB 101030 (44a). Comment: The taxonomic history of the Xenopus in Angola is confused. Prior to Bocages’ description of X. petersii he referred one specimen from Dombe to X. muelleri ( Bocage 1879 ) . Later, in his description of X. petersii , he referred to the same Dombe specimen as X. petersii ( Bocage 1895 ) . By inference he thus considered only X. petersii to be present in Angola , although he recognized three varieties (Vars. A‒C, see X. poweri for fuller discussion). Specimens collected west of Calai on the Cubango River and the lower Cuando River represents the first records of X. muelleri for Angola . Both X. poweri and X. muelleri were collected in sympatry in the Cuando River. The identifications are supported by CO1 barcoding (Conradie unpublished data).
