M'paluwe (PEM A11369 , female, 21.7 mm SUL; PEM A11370 , female, 23.8 mm SUL; PEM A11371 , male, 19.2 mm SUL; PEM A11372 , male, 18.1 mm SUL) . Comments Specimens were collected both during the day and at night from rocky outcrops in water seepages (Fig. 3E , 3F ). Historically, Nothophryne has only been reported from two localities: Mt. Mulanje, Malawi (type locality) and Mt. M'paluwe in Mozambique (Poynton 1962 & 1966 , Blake 1965 ), both higher than 1200 m asl. Timberlake et al. (2009) were the first to report this species from Mt. Namuli. Some calls similar to Nothophryne were heard from the summit of Mt. Mabu, but no frog was visually located to confirm the species occurrence in this mountain. Genetic analyses suggest a cryptic diversity in this genus ( Bittencourt-Silva et al. 2016 ) and additional work is underway to update its taxonomy. Based on its small distribution these nominotypical species is listed as Endangered ( Mazibuko and Poynton 2004 ). Referring to that the undescribed species will receive similar red list status.
