Hyperolius fusciventris fusciventris Peters, 1876 View in CoL
Dark-bellied Reed Frog
Material: Male, NGK-Nimba 0077 ( Fig. 9C View Fig ).
Comments: Hyperolius fusciventris fusciventris occurs from western Ivory Coast into neighboring Liberia and Guinea in farmbush, heavily degraded forests, and occasionally in gallery forests within humid savannah ( Schiøtz 1967). We GoogleMaps encountered the species in the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl), in an open but densely vegetated area close to swamps. The dorsal color varied from uniform brownish over light green to dense green. Some individuals with greyish-blue eyes exhibited a uniform yellow dorsal color. The belly of females was either dark or light grey. All males had a lighter belly. The male SULs ranged from 23.5–25.0 (N = 7), females reached 26.5–27.0 mm (N = 3).
