Hyperolius ocellatus (Günther, 1858) Photo View in CoL figures 16A–E

TYPE LOCALITY.— “Fernando Po”, Bioko , Equatorial Guinea and “ Angola ”. Perret (1975) restricted the type locality to “Fernando Po” by lectotype designation .

DISTRIBUTION.— This species ranges over a vast area, from south-eastern Nigeria to Democratic Republic of Congo and southwards to Gabon and Republic of Congo. In Equatorial Guinea, it has been recorded both in Río Muni ( De la Riva 1994; Bell et al. 2017) and Bioko ( Boulenger 1900, 1906a; Mertens 1941, 1965; Hydeman et al. 2017; Bell et al. 2017) ( Map 17A View MAPS ).

COMMENTS.— Hyperolius ocellatus sensu lato shows a complex phylogeographic structure formed by several lineages ( Bell et al. 2017), which need taxonomic revision. Currently, there is one mitochondrial lineage on Bioko, whereas Río Muni could lie in a contact zone between two mainland mitochondrial lineages ( Bell et al. 2017). Descriptions of the advertisement calls from Monte Alén were provided by Bosch et al. (2000).
