Taxonomic and distributional notes:
This species was described by Peters (1877a) MAP 32. Distribution of Hyperolius adspersus in Angola. as Hyperolius adspersus based on a specimen collected in “Chinchoxo,” in the Cabinda enclave. Ferreira (1904) described Rappia nobrei from the type locality “Cabiri” collected by Francisco Newton. This taxon was previously considered as incertae sedis in part because of the long lack of study of the type specimens ( Frost 2016). A recent study by Ceríaco et al. (2014a) confirmed that this taxon is clearly a member of the genus Hyperolius and is plausibly a junior synonym of H. adspersus . Previously, H. adspersus was considered to be a synonym of H. nasutus Günther 1865 , but Amiet (2005) removed it from synonymy. This species is part of the taxonomically problematic Hyperolius nasutus group, which currently contains 16 recognized species (Channing et al. 2013b; Ceríaco et al. 2014a). Of these 16 species, only three are known to occur near the type locality of Rappia nobrei : Hyperolius adspersus , Hyperolius nasutus Günther, 1865 , and H. benguellensis ( Bocage, 1893) (Channing et al. 2013b; Ceríaco et al. 2014a; see H. benguellensis and H. nasutus accounts). The syntypes of R. nobrei are similar to both H. adspersus and H. benguellensis , which makes it difficult to determine to which species Rappia nobrei should be referred. We here follow Ceríaco et al. (2014a) by considering R. nobrei to be a junior synonym of H. adspersus . Channing et al. (2013b) considered Hyperolius granulatus ( Boulenger, 1901) , previously associated with Hyperolius benguellensis ( Bocage, 1893) , to be a synonym of H. adspersus (Perret 1976a; Schiøtz and Van Daele 2003).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: This species was first described as Hyperolius angolensis Steindachner, 1867 based on a single specimen from “ Angola,” now corrected to “Duque de Brangança” [= Calandula] (Ceríaco et al. 2014b); note, however, that Häupl and Tiedemann (1978) cited two syntypes from “ Angola ” deposited in the Naturhistorsches Museum in Wein, Austria. This species has been reported from Angola by many previous authors under a variety of names. This taxon is considered to be a synonym of Hyperolius parallelus Günther, 1858 by some authors such as Wieczorek et al. (2000), Frétey et al. (2011), Ceríaco et al. (2014b), and Frost (2016). Other authors, including Schiøtz (1999), considered it part of the Hyperolius parallelus-marginatus subgroup — corresponding to one of three taxa, parallelus , insignis and angolensis — or instead a subspecies of Hyperolius marmoratus ( Rapp, 1842) as was suggested by Loveridge (1953a) and Poynton and Broadley (1987). Channing (2001) and Conradie et al. (2012a) considered Hyperolius angolensis to be a valid species. Both H. parallelus and H. marmoratus are taxonomically problematic. Poynton and Broadley (1987) regarded all the forms in southern Africa as subspecies of H. marmoratus , while Channing (1999) regarded angolensis and possibly other forms from Angola as specifically distinct from the eastern marmoratus -forms ( Schiøtz 1999). Hyperolius parallelus is represented in southern and southwestern Africa, including Angola ( Schiøtz 1999) whereas, H. marmoratus , is widespread across southern and eastern Africa and appears to be absent from Angola ( Channing 2001; Frost 2016). The nomina parallelus and marmoratus were previously reported from the country under various names associated with many different species and subspecies names ( Ferreira 1906; Loveridge 1953a; Monard 1937 a, 1938; Mertens 1938; Laurent 1964a; Perret 1976a; Frétey et al. 2011). This is explained partly by the considerable intraspecific and interspecific variation in coloration and pattern across populations (Ceríaco et al. 2014b). There are several studies in progress on the genus Hyperolius that will help to clarify species boundaries among these challenging taxa. Given the current state of knowledge, we refer all of these records to Hyperolius angolensis , though we recognize that this may contain multiple biological species.

Undetermined Locality: “Western subregion and Angolan highlands (Angolan coastal or watersheds)” ( Frade 1963:254). Taxonomic and distributional notes: In the description, Bocage notes that the type specimens are similar to Rappia nasuta (Günther, 1865) . In their detailed discussion of the benguelensis-nasutus complex, Poynton and Broadley (1987) had little doubt that the characters used at that time were inadequate to separate all available specimens into nasutus and benguellensis . Schiøtz (1999) concluded that it is difficult to separate H. nasutus and H. benguellensis based on morphology and color patterns. Channing et al. (2002) proposed formal changes in nomenclature and gave detailed lists of synonyms, but Schiøtz (2006) questioned several of these changes. Schiøtz and Van Daele (2003) provided a discussion about the differences in the advertisement calls of nasutus and benguellensis as well as differences in external morphology. Hyperolius benguellensis ( Bocage, 1893) was questionably removed from the synonymy of H. nasutus Günther, 1865 by Amiet (2005). Channing et al. (2013) used molecular data to argue that H. benguellensis is a valid species. The species has only been confirmed from southern Angola, northern Namibia, and northern Botswana where it was found in open grassy habitats, along streams or man-made structures with emergent vegetation (Channing et al. 2013). We follow Poynton and Broadley (1987), Schiøtz and Daele (2003), and Channing et al. (2013) in regarding H. benguellensis as distinct from the sympatric H. nasutus . Hyperolius oxyrhynchus is regarded as a synonym of H. benguellensis (Channing et al. 2013b) , though a record from “Muíta” (Laurent 1950) is probably a misidentification as it is far to the north of the rest of the distribution of H. benguellensis . Laurent’s (1950a) record should probably be referred to another species of the nasutus complex, such as H. adspersus or H. nasutus .

Taxonomic and distributional notes:
According to Laurent (in Frost 1985:208,

Hyperolius marmoratus insignis , a member of parallelus-marginatus subgroup ( Schiøtz
1999) [see Hyperolius angolensis account].
The validity of this taxon is questionable and difficult to address due to loss of the type specimen. MAP 35. Distribution of Hyperolius bicolor in Angola .

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Hyperolius bocagei Steindacher, 1867 was described based on a specimen from “ Angola ”. However, the type locality of H. bocagei should be considered “Duque de Bragança [= Calandula], Malanje,” as this is the locality from which the specimen collected by Pinheiro Bayão was sent by Bocage to Steidachner (Ceríaco et al. 2014a). Ferreira (1906) described Rappia seabrai based on a single individual deposited in Museu do Porto, collected by Francisco Newton. The holotype is believed to be lost (Ceríaco et al. 2014a) and several authors consider it to be a synonym of H. bocagei (Laurent, pers. comm. in Frost, 1985; Frétey et al., 2011; Ceríaco et al. 2014a; Frost 2016). In the original description, Ferreira (1906) also noted that one specimen referable to H. seabrai from “Duque de Bragança ” [= Calandula] collected by Bayão was found in Museu Bocage, Lisboa, Portugal, and this was considered a paratype by Ceríaco et al. (2014a). The type locality of “Quilombo,” currently Gonguembo in Kwanza Norte
Province, is approximately 140 km west of Caladula Falls in Malanje Province, formerly “Duque de Brangança,” the type locality of H. bocagei and the locality from which the paratype of R. seabrai was collected (Ceríaco et al. 2014a). Schiøtz (1999) and Schiøtz and Van Daele (2003) suggested that H. bocagei might be a junior synonym of a species in the Hyperolius viridiflavus complex. Poynton (1986) considered Hyperolius cinctiventris Cope, 1862 to be a synonym of Hyperolius argus Peters, 1854 , and as this species is restricted to East Africa it is unlikely to correspond to Angolan specimens. The specimens identified by Monard (1938) as cinctiventris deposited in the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, La-Chaux-de Fond, Switzerland were recently studied and identificated as Hyperolius bocagei (Ceríaco et al. in prep.).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: This species was recently described by Conradie et al. (2012a). According to the original publication, H. chelaensis is the sister species of H. cinereus Monard, 1937 . The type locality is along a small stream that drains from the Serra de Chela escarpment into the ephemeral water courses (e.g., Giraul River) draining west to the Atlantic Ocean ( Conradie et al. 2013). It is expected to be more widespread in the Serra de Chela and Leba mountain ranges. Further MAP 37.

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Hyperolius cinereus Monard, 1937 was described based on two syntype specimens from “Kalukembé” in Huíla Province and “Bimbi” in Huambo Province ( Monard 1937a). Laurent (1964a) later assigned a small collection of specimens from “Dundo” in Lunda Norte Province to H. cinereus , althought his characterization of the coloration of this species differs from that of Monard. Both Monard (1937a) and Laurent (1964a) examined only preserved material and could only speculate on the coloration in life ( Conradie et al. 2013). Conradie et al. (2013) considered that populations from southern and central Angola, including the localities for Monard’s two syntypes, correspond to H. cinereus . However, the northern populations identified by Laurent (1964a) correspond to a closely related species that they described as Hyperolius raymondi Conradie, Branch and Tolley, 2013 (see H. raymondi ). Both species occur in flood- ed grasslands called “dambos” where water levels reach 30 (northern population) to 50 (southern population) cm deep ( Conradie et al. 2013). Monard (1937a) stated that the syntype from “Bimbi” was a juvenile and differed in several characters. Due to that, Conradie et al. (2013a) argued that this specimen should not be considered part of the type series, instead assigning it only provisionally to H. cinereus , which was followed by Frost (2016). We recently studied the type material in the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, La-Chaux-de Fond, Switzerland and believe that the “Bimbi” specimen is identifiable as Hyperolius cinereus , and as it was used by Monard in his description it should be recognized as a part of the type series (Ceríaco et al. in prep.).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Bocage (1866b) described two new species, Hyperolius cinnamomeo-ventris Bocage, 1866 and Rappia tristis (Bocage, 1866) from “Duque de Bragança [= Calandula].” The nomen tristis was synonymized with H. cinnamomeoventris by Laurent (1943b, 1947) and has subsequently been followed by other authors including Perret (1976a). Before the Lisbon fire Perret (1976a) visited the Museu Bocage but did not find the holotype of either of these species. One syntype of Rappia bivittata designated by Ferreira (1906) from “N’Golla Bumba,” Kwanza Sul province seems to represent Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris Bocage, 1866 (Ceríaco et al. 2014a). Currently this species is accepted and recognized as Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris ( Schiøtz 1999; Channing 2001; Frétey et al. 2011; Conradie et al. 2013; Frost 2016). This widespread species represents a complex of species found in Central Africa and several offshore islands and is awaiting taxonomic revision.

However, Laurent (in Frost 1985; Frost 2016) suggested that this species is probably a synonym of Hyperolius marmoratus Rapp, 1842 , which we recognize above as Hyperolius angolensis Steindachner, 1867 (see H. angolensis account).

Ocurrences in Angola (Map 45): The species has been recorded from Benguela
Province. Benguela: “Ebanga” [-12.73333,
14.73333] ( Monard 1937a:40, 1938:95).
Undetermined Locality: “plateaus regions”
( Cei 1977:17).
Taxonomic and distributional notes:
Monard (1937 a, 1938) reported H. langi from
“Ebanga” in southwestern Angola. There are also two other species of Hyperolius that occur at this location, H. benguellensis ( Bocage,
1893) and H. bocagei Steindachner, 1867 .
The species that Monard (1937 a, 1938) identified as H. langi probably corresponds to
H. bocagei , especially as it does not agree with the original description for H. benguellensis .
However, examination of the type material of
H. langi is required to confirm this. MAP 45. Distribution of Hyperolius langi in Angola.

Taxonomic and distributional notes: While the type specimen of R. punctulata is now lost, Channing et al. (2013) included it as a synonym of H. nasutus , for which there are many junior synonyms. To date, fifteen names have been used for members of the nasutus group, most of which have been synonymized with the nominotypical form ( Schiøtz 1999); a relatively recent list of these synonyms is provided by Amiet (2005). Poynton and Broadley (1987) recognized three species in the southern African savanna, Hyperolius viridis Schiøtz, 1975 , Hyperolius nasutus Günther, 1865 and Hyperolius benguellensis Bocage, 1893 . Schiøtz (1999) including H. benguellensis as a synonym of H. nasutus after arguing that differences in morphology and color pattern are not sufficient for distinguishing these two species. Later, Channing et al. (2002) retained H. benguellensis as a synonym of nasutus , but also divided the group into three cryptic species differing in advertisement call: Hyperolius acuticeps Ahl, 1931 , Hyperolius viridis Schiøtz, 1975 , and H. nasutus (Schiøtz and Van Daele 2003; Schiøtz 2006). Schiøtz (2006) distinguished two species, H. benguellensis and H. nasutus , in the nasutus group for Angola based on the structure of the advertisement call and color pattern. This widespread species is common in savannas and exhibits a preference for humid areas such as reeds growing in deep water, pools, streams, and large rivers ( Schiøtz 1999; Channing 2001).

Taxonomic and distributional notes:
According to Wieczorek et al. (2000), the species Hyperolius nitidulus Peters, 1875 is a
West African species associated with savanna and woodlands ( Schiøtz 1999; Wieczorek et al.
2000; Rödel et al. 2010; Amiet 2012). Based on the distribution of the species delimited by
Wieczorek et al. (2000), the record from north- MAP 48. Distribution of Hyperolius nitidulus in Angola. western Angola is likely a misidentification.

Global distribution: The species is from tropical Central Africa. It occurs in the Cabinda enclave in Angola, extending north into southeastern Nigeria and Bioko Island, east across Democratic Republic of Congo, with possibly occurences in western Uganda and Rwanda.
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 49): The species is recorded from northwestern Angola in the Cabinda encalve. Cabinda: “Landana” [-5.21667, 12.15000] ( Rochebrune 1885:91; Frost 1985:212, 2016); “ Cabinda ” ( Schiøtz 1999:141; Channing 2001:169).
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Günther (1858a) described Hyperolius ocellatus from “ Fernando Pó ” and “ Angola,” the latter without clear indication of the locality based on two specimens deposited in British Museum. Perret (1975a) considered the type locality “ Angola ” to be in error and designated the lectotype as being from “ Fernando Pó.” MAP 49. Distribution of Hyperolius ocellatus in Angola. Following Günther’s (1858a) description, Rochebrune (1885) described a new species from “Locam Landana dictum, in frondibus Borassorum” in the Cabinda enclave as Hyperolius lucani . This may be a synonym of Hyperolius ocellatus (Laurent in Frost 1985, 2016; Frétey et al. 2011), although it is not mentioned by Schiøtz (1999) or Channing (2001).

Taxonomic and distributional notes:
According to Laurent (1954a), the specimen from “Tshinguvu (Tshikapa)” is similar to
Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris Bocage, 1866 ,
but differs in some morphological characters.
Currently it remains poorly known and its validity is uncertain.

Taxonomic and distributional notes:
Laurent (in Frost 1985) considered Hyperolius protchei as a possible synonym of Hyperolius marmoratus Rapp, 1842 , which in Angola should be considered Hyperolius angolensis
Steindachner, 1867 (see Hyperolius angolensis account). The species is not mentioned by
Schiøtz (1999) or Channing (2001).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: Boulenger (1882) noted that this is an East African species, although he recognized ( Bocage 1866b) Hyperolius microps as a valid name. Based on this information, the Angolan records possibly belong to another Hyperolius species and it would be important to review this case. Unfortunately, the specimens from Museu Bocage ( Bocage 1866 b, 1895a, 1897a) were destroyed in the 1978 fire, although the specimens studied by Boulenger (1905) still exist in the British Museum. Noble (1924) also cited specimens of H. pusillus and H. microps in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History from Angola, though without precise locality information.

Taxonomic and distributional notes:
According to Perret (1976a), the syntypes described by Bocage (1866a), which were destroyed in the 1978 fire in Lisbon, were studied by Schiøtz (1975) when he concluded that
H. quinquevittatus is similar in morphology to
H. nasutus Günther, 1865 . Poynton and
Broadley (1987) noted, however, that Hyperolius quinquevittatus is more similar to Hyperolius kivuensis even if H. quinquevittatus is in MAP 54. Distribution of Hyperolius quinquevittatus in general much smaller and slimmer. Pickersgill Angola.
(2007a) suspected that the species belongs to the multifasciatus group, while Frétey et al. (2011) included the H. multifasciatus in the synonym of quinquevittatus .
