Allen’s Puddle Frog

Material: Male, NGK-Nimba 0010 ( Fig. 11C View Fig ) .

Comments: During the rainy season, we found a yellow Phrynobatrachus alleni male (18.5 mm) in breeding condition, among leaf litter on the forest floor, in a patch of dense forest, crossed by a small stream (07°32.993’N, 008°24.753’W; 425 m asl). Rödel (2003) reported from nearby Mount Sangbé that breeding P. alleni became completely yellow. The yellow color may disappear within minutes when the frogs are disturbed. In Taï National Park, breeding P. alleni males where never observed to be completely yellow (M.-O. Rödel, unpub. data).
