Phrynobatrachus cf. natalensis (Smith, 1849) View in CoL
Material (three specimens): Two adult specimens (MHNCUP/ ANF 312–313, formerly UP-MHNFCP-017321; Fig. S24 View FIGURE S ), collected from unknown locality, date unknown; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/ ANF 314 , formerly UP- MHNFCP-017343), collected from unknown locality, date unknown .
Comments: Populations referred to as P. cf. natalensis have been cited from across sub-Saharan Africa and are well widespread in Angola ( Marques et al. 2018). Despite that, Marques et al. (2018) noted that those records most likely correspond to several undescribed species. Zimkus et al. (2010), in a molecular phylogenetic analysis, showed that P. natalensis is a species complex and recovered five different clades. Ferreira (1904) cited an adult specimen from “Catete” (the only citation for the locality), and an unspecified number of specimens from unknown location ( Ferreira 1906). One of specimens MHNCUP/ANF 312–314 might correspond to the one cited from “Catete”.
