Phrynobatrachus latifrons Ahl, 1924 View in CoL
Savannah Puddle Frog
Material: One female, NGK-Nimba 0064 ( Fig. 12A View Fig ), and one male, NGK-Nimba 0065 ( Fig. 12B View Fig ) .
Comments: Phrynobatrachus latifrons is a very common and widespread, semi-aquatic West African puddle frog, living in savannah and heavily degraded rainforest habitats ( Rödel 1995 [there erroneously termed P. francisci ], 2000; Kouamé et al. 2018). The species was abundant in the Yéalé village. In particular, we heard males calling between densely vegetated parts of swamps and paddy fields (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). An adult female with a broad green back and a light vertebral line exhibited an unusual thin, light longitudinal line on upper surface of the tibia (22.0 mm). A uniform brown frog (18.1 mm) exhibited the bright yellow throat, typical for adult males.
