Comments.

Traditionally considered as a subspecies of Xenopus laevis (Daudin, 1802), Furman et al. (2015) reclassified all central and western Angolan populations as X. petersii . Frétey et al. (2018) designated as lectotype of the species a specimen collected by José d’Anchieta in Benguela Province, Angola. This species is known from several localities in southwestern regions of the country (see Marques et al. 2018) and the Serra da Neve population is within the expected distribution range of X. petersii in the province.
