Description

Phrynobatrachus batesii (Boulenger, 1906)

TYPE LOCALITY.— “Efulen and …Zima” Sangmelima, Cameroon.

DISTRIBUTION.— Recorded from Ghana, Nigeria, Gabon and Cameroon. In Equatorial Guinea, there is a doubtful record from Monte Mitra (Map 22A).

COMMENTS.— Gonwouo and Nsang (2005) provided the first record of this species for Equatorial Guinea, misspelled as “ Phrynobatrachus batesi ”. Surprisingly, there are no additional comments about the relevance of this record in their work, and we recommend that it be considered with caution until more evidence is provided. Dewynter and Frétey (2019) also include Equatorial Guinea in the distribution of the species, without more information.

SPECIMENS EXAMINED.— No specimens were found in the collections examined by us in this study.
