Map 17
)
Material (
1 specimen
):
P2-273 (photograph and tissue sample only), wetland near old quarry east of Quemba, -12.16960° 18.22965°,
1,353 m
asl.
Description:
Medium sized reed frog; pointed snout; long slender limbs. Dorsum dark brown, with a single vertebral and two dorsolateral light green stripes.
Habitat and natural history notes:
Found in a flooded grassland, surrounded by miombo woodland. Founded syntopically with
Kassinula wittei
,
Hyperolius raymondi
,
and
H
. cf.
inyangae
.
Comments:
This record represents an eastward range extension in
Angola
. It has been recorded from northwestern
Zambia
(
Poynton and Broadley 1987
, 1991;
Channing 2001
; Bittencourt 2019), and like
Kassinula wittei
and
Kassina kuvangensis
, this species is thus expected to occur to the north and east of the defined study area.
