Leptopelis modestus
(Werner, 1898)
TYPE
LOCALITY
.— “
Kamerun
”; restricted to “
Buéa
,
Cameroon
” by
lectotype
designation
.
DISTRIBUTION
.— This species inhabits the forests of southern
Nigeria
and
Cameroon
. In
Equatorial Guinea
, it is only recorded from
Bioko (
Hydeman et al. 2017
)
(
Map 9A
).
COMMENTS
.— Populations from Bioko represent an independent lineage from those in mainland
Cameroon
(authors’ unpublished data). However, an integrative approach is necessary to test if this insular lineage is part of the geographically structured intraspecific variability or a different species.
