Toad with a broad and round head, a very short snout, and very well delimited, broad parotid glands, especially in females. Limbs relatively shorter than in S. maculata and S. regularis . Presence of projecting round granules in the dorsal part in all specimens. Dominant colour brownish to dark beige. Dorsal glands or granules reddish ( Fig. 3F ). The back of the twenty females from MHNG very dark brown or black in alcohol. The venter whitish with a light brown throat. HABITAT. — Sclerophrys pentoni was found in many savannah and Sahelian habitats in Burkina Faso ( Fig. 2 ). We collected it in protected areas (Arly National Park, W National Park) and in disturbed zones (near a maize field in Comoé-Léraba and near a farmbush in Koti). It was also found in neighbouring countries, namely Benin ( Nago et al. 2006 ) and Togo ( Segniagbeto et al. 2007 ). Beside, the species was reported from the Sahel and Sahelian savannah of western and eastern parts of Africa ( Padial & De La Riva 2004 ; Padial et al. 2013 ; Portik & Papenfuss 2015 ; Sow et al. 2017 ).
