Chiromantis rufescens (Günther 1869)

Material: One (1) specimen. Mboua: CAS 258245. Fig. 11H .

Comments: Similar to C. rufescens encountered elsewhere in Gabon, we encountered this single male individual near small, temporary pools in the forest. This species is typically found on branches 1–3 m above the ground and is widespread across West and Central Africa. Within Gabon, C. rufescens is known from six national parks: Crystal Mountains ( Bell et al. 2011), Ivindo ( Frétey and Blanc 2001), Loango ( Burger et al. 2006), Lopé ( Frétey and Blanc 2000), Moukalaba-Doudou ( Burger et al. 2004), and Batéké Plateau NP ( Zimkus and Larson 2013).
