DESCRIPTION . — Small sized frog (SVL 26.5-34.1 mm ♂ , 29.5- 32.5 mm ♀ ), with slender, but fairly robust body. Snout rounded. Head slightly longer than broad (HW 29-33% SVL; HL 31-35% SVL). Tympanum distinct, round, very small (TYD 4-5% SVL). Tibia very short (TL 30-37% SVL). Webbing absent, phalanges all free. Back and upper parts of flanks smooth; lower parts of flanks and belly with glandular warts. COLOURATION . — The back shows three black longitudinal bands, either continuous or broken into blotches, on a beige background. These bands are starting from the snout and joining at the vent. The canthus rostralis and the loreal and tympanic regions are black. The snout is beige with some black spots, the edge of the upper lip is beige. SEXUAL DIMORPHISM . — Males have a glandular disc on the subgular vocal sac. HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION . — Kassina senegalensis is widespread throughout Africa, ranging from Senegal to southern Africa ( Perret 1966 ; Lamotte 1967a ; SchiØtz 1967 ; Channing & Rödel 2019 ). In Togo , it is very frequent in the region of Tsévié where it was observed in the rainy season around small pools bordered by grasses. It has a nationwide distribution. Bourgat (1979) indicated its presence in the South as well as in the North of Togo . Segniagbeto et al. (2022) reported the species presence in the ecological zones III, IV and II.
