Hyperolius phantasticus (Boulenger 1899)

Materials: Three (3) specimens. Doumaye: CAS 258163–65. Fig. 10A–C .

Comments: Hyperolius phantasticus was found in small trees next to a large savanna pond, 2–2.5 meters above the ground. In the Plaine Ouanga Reserve in the Gamba Complex of Protected Areas, this species was found in shrubs close to or next to savanna ponds. This species is known from Crystal Mountains NP ( Lötters et al. 2001; Bell et al.2011) and Loango NP ( Burger et al. 2006). We sequenced 16S rRNA of CAS 258165 and confirmed its identification using BLAST (GenBank accession: MF537674; closest BLAST sequence is FJ594099; 97% identical).
