HYPEROLIIDAE View in CoL

Fornasini's Spiny Reed Frog, Afrixalus fornasini ( Bianconi 1849) , is indigenous to savannas of coastal southern Kenya southward to South Africa ( Channing & Howell 2006). On 5 November 2010 at 1822 h, MRR collected an adult (26 mm SVL) A. fornasini (UF 163085; MorphoBank M88446 View Materials ; Fig. 10) perched on a PVC pipe just outside the property of the animal importer's facility at 6450 Stirling Road, Hollywood, Broward County (26.04591 o N, - 80.21976 o W). This species likely was released or had escaped (stage 2) from an enclosure. This represents the first known voucher for this family and species in Florida.
