Hyperolius sp.

Material: Male, NGK-Nimba 0068 ( Fig. 10G–H View Fig ).

Comments: Two Hyperolius sp. were recorded in the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl), in a swampy area with a shallow creek, dense herbaceous formations, and few shrubs and trees. A male (26.4 mm) possessed a uniform greyish-brown dorsal color; the throat was dull blue; the anterior part of the belly was white, the posterior part greenish to blueish. The ventral surfaces of limbs were greenish; the discs of toes and fingers were reddish. The gular gland was indistinct and smooth. So far, we cannot assign these frogs to any West African Hyperolius species (e.g., Schiøtz 1967; Channing and Rödel 2019). Molecular and acoustic data are required in order to resolve the taxonomic status of this reedfrog.
