Ptychadena ansorgii
(
Boulenger, 1905
)
Material (
one specimen
):
One adult specimen (MHNCUP/
ANF 332
, formerly UP-MHNFCP-052191;
Fig. S21
), collected from unknown locality, date unknown
.
Comments:
Ptychadena ansorgii
is a species known from the western and extreme northeastern regions of
Angola
(
Marques
et al.
2018
). The species was not cited by Ferreira in any of his publications regarding Newton’s expedition to
Angola
(
Ferreira 1904
,
1906
) and, therefore, constitutes an additional record of this species for the country, even if without associated collecting data.
