Hylambates verrucosus Boulenger, 1912

Fig. 9G–H View Fig .

Area: Bechuchuu, Yalokole.

Season/survey: Wet (Nov 2018), dry (July 2020).

Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 810, 819, 820, 827; NMPP6 V 76085/1–2.

Comments: Individuals of this species were found in forest swamps dominated by plants of the genus Lasimorpha (formerly known as Cyrtosperma ). This semiaquatic plant is spiny and may provide some protection from the predators of these frogs. Three anuran species were abundant in this swampy environment, Aubria masako and Chiromantis cf. rufescens in addition to H. verrucosus . In our field experience in central and northeastern DRC, Hylambates is often syntopic with Chiromantis .
