Overall, the paratypes are similar to the holotype in external appearance and colouration. Dorsal colouration ranges from uniform dark brown (ZMB 78432) to predominantly brown with dark mottling (ZMB 78430, ZMB 78431) or predominantly brown with dark spots. In the male paratype (ZMB 78429), the jugular lateral line is more conspicuous than in the holotype and the upper lip is light brown. Ventral colour pattern of all specimens similar: whitish with distinct brown blotches, however, these blotches are lighter in the subadult paratypes (ZMB 78430, ZMB 78431).

: Dorsal colouration varies from similar to the type series (ZMB 90177, ZMB 90303) to darker (ZMB 90301, ZMB 90302, ZMB 90304) or a dark dorsum with light brown spots (ZMB 90302). Ventral colouration of some individuals deviates from that of the type series by a greyish belly with dark mottling and a dark throat with lighter spots (ZMB 90304, ZMB 90301). Ventral colouration of ZMB 90302 is difficult to define due to its preservation condition. Ventral colouration of juveniles is showing fewer dark spots than in adults (ZMB 90177, ZMB 90303). Lateral line system in ZMB 90304 is more conspicuous than in the type series.

). Like other frogs of the genus, they are predominately nocturnal and aquatic. Despite their occurrence in fast flowing streams, adults show a preference for calmer river sections, where turbulent water is absent. Usually, frogs are encountered at least partly submerged in shallow water, facing the riverbanks. When outside of the water, they remain within jumping distance to water. Disturbed frogs seek shelter on the ground of pools, sometimes trying to burrow deeper into them and cover themselves with gravel or substrate (Fig.

and the largest city within the Fouta Djallon, Mamou, within a relatively short distance to the connection road and was surveyed on 20 June 2011. Along the national route one (N1), one of the largest roads connecting the East with the West of Guinea, houses are numerous, but already within a relatively short distance to the road, human presence may be considerably scarcer. Slopes are either covered by an open, short, dry forest with signs of cattle grazing and used for charcoal production (Fig.

) or comparatively large fields for peanuts or rice crops. Only steep slopes surrounding rivers had sometimes larger trees and denser vegetation with higher humidity levels than the surroundings. The type locality is at a river within denser forest, with large boulders and some cascades, allowing for a diverse river site with fast and slow flowing parts and comparatively clear water (Fig.

Binti is located within a mountainous area containing several freshwater sources. It was surveyed from 22-23 July 2010. Many fast-flowing streams with cascades have its source on the mountain. The habitat degradation due to anthropogenic alterations was dramatic and only very small forest fragments remained. The anthropogenic pressure consisted of cultivations/fields (mainly peanut and rice) and grazing cattle. Only streams were surrounded by some remaining larger trees. The Ditinn / Dalaba site was within a small fragment of gallery forest with a stream, next to the waterfall of Ditinn. It was surveyed from 24-25 July 2010. Although there is a small village next to the forest, only minor anthropogenic alterations were detectable.

). From 2007 until his recent death, Kaman was a member of our Guinean team, investigating the amphibians of the Nimba Mountains and other Guinean areas. Kaman had outstanding skills in detecting and catching frogs, and, more importantly, an unswerving positive attitude. A day could be completely exhausting and frustrating, but with a simple joke from Kaman all was good again! Kaman was born and lived in a remote village at the western foothills of the Simandou Range. He never received any formal education. Still, he repeatedly rejected other better paying job offers from mining companies, preferring instead to work with his frog team whenever it was possible. Kaman died in June 2020 after a short severe disease. These frogs shall be a permanent memory to an outstanding person! We suggest 'Kaman
