Breviceps mossambicus Peters, 1854 View in CoL

Mozambique Rain Frog

Material. MOUNT LICO (top): BMNH 2018.2498 2500 , PEM A13725–26 View Materials , MHNM: WC-6468. Identification. All specimens conform to the typical B. mossambicus from elsewhere in Mozambique based on the combination of the following: conspicuous facial mask, inner and outer metatarsal tubercles separated, no pale paravertebral or dorsolateral patches/blotches, uniformly dark dorsum, and no white mark above vent. Comments. All specimens were caught in pitfall traps. Although this species was only recorded on top of Mount Lico, it is likely to also occur around the foothills and surrounding areas .
