Hyperolius dartevellei Laurent, 1943 View in CoL

Dartevelle's Reed Frog

Material. CHAVUMA FR: BMNH 2018.5681 ( Fig. 3K View Fig ); HILLWOOD FARM: BMNH 2018.5683–84; LUKWAKWA: BMNH 2018.5682. Comments: Specimens found in miombo woodland and edge of mushito basking on vegetation during the day. According to Channing et al. (2013) the snout profile of H. dartevellei is truncated instead of shark-like or rounded, but none of the specimens listed above have truncated snouts. However, the BLAST results show 98–99% sequence similarity with samples of H. dartevellei from Ikelenge, north-western Zambia ( JQ 863650, JQ 863653, JQ863673, JQ863676–78, JQ863704, JQ863708, JQ863718, JQ863750, JQ863753–54, JQ863756–59, KY080197, KY080199).
