Comments
:
Hyperolius concolor
is one of the most common West African frogs, widespread in a range of habitats from savannahs and farmbush to degraded and gallery forests (
Schiøtz 1967
; Rödel 2000). It even has been reported from urban sites (
Kouamé et al. 2015
). Calling males were abundant in rice paddies and grasscovered edges of ponds (
07°31.928’N
,
008°25.401’W
;
425 m
asl). The species is dichromatic (
Portik et al. 2019
), with females exhibiting a uniform light yellowishgreen back with reddish toe discs (
SUL
: 32.0–33.0 mm, N = 2); males in contrast are brownish, often with some dark patterns between the eyes and on the back (
SUL
:
23.5–25.5 mm
, N = 5).
