Comments : Cardioglossa occidentalis is a nocturnal leaf litter frog, distributed along forest streams from Sierra Leone to Ghana (Rödel et al. 2001; Rödel and Branch 2002 ; Ernst and Rödel 2006 ; Blackburn et al. 2008 ; Hillers et al. 2008c ). During the night, males frequently emitted insect-like calls (see Rödel et al. 2001), and were well concealed below leaf litter along forest streams. Three males were collected near a small stream running through a slightly degraded forest patch that was dominated by bamboo ( 07°32.993’N , 008°24.753’W ; 425 m asl). Their SULs ranged from 27.0‒29.0 mm.
