XXIV, Fig. 7 . Current name: Hyperolius semidiscus Hewitt, 1927 Lectotype : PEM A4579 (formerly AMG 1505); Mariannhill, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa ; P. Boneberg, date unknown. Paralectotypes (2): PEM A4599 and 4600 (no original number on labels, re-accessioned as AMA 153); same details as lectotype , but collected 10 December and 11 December 1919 , respectively, according to original labels. Remarks. Hewitt (1927) appears to have described H. horstockii semidiscus almost as an after-thought during the description of H. horstockii , and as a consequence the number of types is not mentioned. He notes “ Types from Mariannhill, Natal ”, but earlier notes material from various other localities (see below). The type bottle transferred to PEM contained three specimens. One of these (PEM A4579) conforms to that illustrated in the type description (Pl. XXIV, fig. 7) and its size (33.5 mm) and sex (male) are also the same as that listed, and we therefore designate this as the lectotype . Hewitt (1927) also lists additional material (p. 410), which is also now included in the PEM collection: Redhouse near Port Elizabeth (AMG 1685, now PEM A4580), Bussacks near Kariega River mouth (AMG 2627, now PEM A4582–4592), Blaaukrantz near Grahamstown (no original number on labels, reaccessioned as AMA 152, now PEM A4598), Mqanduli (AMG 2065, now PEM A4581, 4593, 4594) and Gillitts in KwaZula-Natal (AMG 2997, now PEM A4596). He also refers to a specimen from Bathurst (p. 411) but this is unaccounted for. Elevated to full species by Poynton (1964) .
