Comments : These squeaker frogs were widespread in the forest area as well as in farmlands within the vegetation, where several concealed males emitted their insect-like chirping calls which cannot be assigned to any morphotaxa. They occured from 425 to 847 m asl. A male of 23.0 mm in SUL was captured in a patch of forest and retained as voucher ( 07°35.233’N , 008°25.190’W ; 847 m asl). Another male voucher ( SUL 24.0 mm) was recorded in an agricultural area ( 07°31.928’N , 008°25.401’W ; 425 m asl). Arthroleptis poecilonotus -complex are larger than A. langeri but smaller than A. krokosua . The two vouchers may comprise different species, of which one could be conspecific with A. nimbaensis . However, currently that cannot be clarified (see Rödel and Bangoura 2004; Channing and Rödel 2019 ). All of these Arthroleptis species , apart from A. crusculum , may have similar habitat requirements (Rödel et al. 2009; Adum et al. 2011 ; Nopper et al. 2012 ; Sandberger-Loua et al. 2018a ).
