Description

ANGOLA RIVER FROG

Amietia angolensis (Bocage, 1866)

MATERIAL.— Leba Pass, between river and highway, 5 December 2013, 15º4ʹ12.2ʺS, 13º14ʹ38.9ʺE, 1676 m (CAS 254876).

COMMENTS.— This specimen represents the first record for the species for the province, although there are several records from the province of Huíla, in Boca de Humpata (Laurent 1964a; Ruas 1996; Channing and Baptista 2013), and Huila (Bocage 1895; Themido 1941; Perret 1976; Ruas 1996, 2002) less than 20 km east of Leba Pass. The species is widespread across the rest of the country (Marques 2015) as well as in much of the more mesic areas of southern Africa. In Namibia it occurs only where there are permanent rivers (du Preez and Carruthers 2009).
