Hymenochirus
Boulenger, 1896
This genus is well known from aquaria (
Kunz 2007
;
Rabb and Rabb 1963
), but wild populations are poorly known. Similarly, knowledge of the taxonomy of this genus is poor, with only four species currently listed (
Frost 2021
). The distribution of this genus is concentrated around the forested zone of Central Africa, from southern
Nigeria
to eastern
DRC
, and possibly westernmost
Uganda
.
