Afrixalus dorsalis (Peters 1875) View in CoL
Material: Five (5) specimens. Doumaye: CAS 258200, 258201, 258240, 258284; GFMJ 1353. Fig. 6G View Fig .
Comments: Afrixalus dorsalis is a disturbance specialist, and we found individuals concentrated near village water pumps, calling from tall grasses. This species was found in sympatry with Leptopelis aubryi . Its identification is based on the key by Frétey et al. (2011), including the brown mediodorsal band that widens and spreads towards the eyelids (see Fig. 6G View Fig ). Afrixalus dorsalis is known from the following national parks: Ivindo, Lopé ( Frétey and Blanc 2000, 2001), Loango, Moukalaba-Doudou ( Burger et al. 2004, 2006).
