Current name: Xenopus laevis(Daudin, 1802) Syntypes: possibly RMNH 2267, 4 spec. Loc.: Cap [Cape of Good Hope, Rep. South Africa]. Leg.: H.B. van Horstok.
Remarks. The typematerial consisted of specimens from H. Boie’s collection. Wagler (1827: 726) mentioned a specimen “im Leydner Cabinete” [RMNH]. The Leiden museum records and the oldest label on the jar indicate that the specimens from RMNH 2267 were first identified as Xenopus Boiei, suggesting that they belonged to the original typeseries.
