Leptopelis millsoni (Boulenger 1895)

Material: Three (3) specimens. CAS 258147, OMNH 44774. Mboua: CAS 258233. Fig. 5B, C .

Comments: We found individuals 1–2.5 m above the ground along forested streams. This species is closely associated with streams. This arboreal species is widespread across Central Africa ( Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of Congo, and DRC). Within Gabon, it is known from Crystal Mountains NP ( Lötters et al. 2001; Bell et al. 2011), Ivindo NP ( Frétey and Blanc 2000; Bell et al. 2011), and Moukalaba-Doudou ( Burger et al. 2004). In addition to this new Haut-Ogooué record, we also found this species in Moyen-Ogooué (CAS 257990–91, 258049, 258076, 258119, 258126) and Ogooué-Lolo (CAS 258303) provinces.
