Comments: On a rainy day they were found together with a juvenile Nimba Toad ( N. occidentlais ) below a stone in montane grassland ( 07°35.555’N , 008°25.788’W ; 1,235 m asl). These males had an oval to slender elongated body and measured 15.5 and 21.0 mm SUL , respectively. Arthroleptis crusculum always possesses a granular to warty dorsal skin. Its habitat differs from other species of the genus which are present on Mounts Nimba . Arthrolpetis nimbaensis , A. langeri , and A. krokosua , and occur in rainforest and/or farmbush ( Guibé and Lamotte 1958b ; Rödel et al. 2009; Adum et al. 2011 ; Nopper et al. 2012 ; Sandberger-Loua et al. 2018a ). Arthrolpetis crusculum occurs in high elevation grasslands up to 1,750 m asl during the rainy season and seems to survive the dry season in gallery forests and at the edges of marshes ( Guibé and Lamotte 1958b ).
