Comments: Hyperolius platyceps is a species found in northern Angola and ranging from southern Cameroon to southwestern Republic of the Congo , western Democratic Republic of the Congo , and southwestern Central African Republic ( Marques et al. 2018 ; Frost 2020 ). Specimens of this species were used by Ferreira (1906) to describe three new taxa - Rappia platyceps var angolensis (“N’Golla Bumba” and “Quilombo”); Rappia fasciata (“Quilombo”) and Rappia bivittata (“Rio Luinha”, “Quilombo” e “N’Golla Bumba”). All of these are currently considered junior synonyms of H. platyceps ( Ceríaco et al. 2014b ; Marques et al. 2018 ; Frost 2020 ). Specimen MHNCUP/ANF 205 is a syntype for Rappia platyceps var angolensis ; MHNCUP/ANF 206 is the holotype for Rappia fasciata and MHNCUP/ANF 207–209 are the syntypes for Rappia bivittata . Ceríaco et al. (2014b) stated that MHNCUP/ ANF 209 was the lectotype , while MHNCUP/ANF 207–208 should be considered paralectotypes . Specimen MHNCUP/ANF 215 has an internal label stating “ Paratype de Rappia osorioi Ferreira / est en fait un Hyperolius platyceps fasciatus (Ferreira)”. This type-written note was most likely written by either Laurent (1982) or Perret (1976b) , as both authors examined the jar ( Ceríaco et al. 2014b ).
