Amnirana amnicola (Perret 1977)

Material: Eight (8) specimens. Doumaye: CAS 258179– 81, 258192, GFMJ 1247, 1262. Mboua: CAS 258244. Fig. 10H , Fig. 11A .

Comments: We frequently encountered this species near slow sections of forested streams on stems 1–2 m above the ground. Amnirana amnicola is often in found sympatry with the morphologically similar and related species A. albolabris from which it is distinguishable by less webbing between the toes (Perret 1977). This species is known from Crystal Mountains NP ( Lötters et al. 2001), Ivindo NP ( Frétey and Blanc 2001), and Moukalaba-Doudou NP ( Burger et al. 2004).
