Present name.

Hyperolius rwandae Dehling, Sinsch, Rödel and Channing in Channing, Hillers, Lötters, Rödel, Schick, Conradie, Rödder, Mercurio, Wagner, Dehling, Du Preez, Kielgast & Burger, 2013.

Remarks.

The type material of H. rwandae , inventoried prior to the publication of the paper, was sent to ZMB in August 2017, however, without containing the holotype ( ZMB 77221). On written request, we were informed that the holotype could not be found (J. M. Dehling in litt. 28 August 2017) and must therefore be regarded as lost.
