Hyperolius quinquevittatus Bocage, 1866

Five-striped Reed Frog ( Fig. 18; Map 17)

Material (1 specimen): P2-273 (photograph and tissue sample only), wetland near old quarry east of Quemba, -12.16960° 18.22965°, 1,353 m asl. Description: Medium sized reed frog; pointed snout; long slender limbs. Dorsum dark brown, with a single vertebral and two dorsolateral light green stripes. Habitat and natural history notes: Found in a flooded grassland, surrounded by miombo woodland. Founded syntopically with Kassinula wittei , Hyperolius raymondi , and H. cf. inyangae . Comments: This record represents an eastward range extension in Angola. It has been recorded from northwestern Zambia ( Poynton and Broadley 1987, 1991; Channing 2001; Bittencourt 2019), and like Kassinula wittei and Kassina kuvangensis , this species is thus expected to occur to the north and east of the defined study area.
