Description

Phrynobatrachus annulatus Perret, 1966

Ringed Puddle Frog

Material: Two females, NGK-Nimba 0091 (Fig. 11D), NGK-Nimba 0094.

Comments: Phrynobatrachus annulatus is a forest-dwelling leaf litter frog, which has a patchy distribution in forests from south-eastern Guinea, eastern Liberia, western Ivory Coast, and western Ghana (Ernst and Rödel 2006; Hillers and Rödel 2007; Rödel et al. 2005; Rödel and Glos 2019). In Ivory Coast, the species was reported from Taï National Park (e.g., Ernst and Rödel 2006; Hillers et al. 2008c), and the Mabi-Yaya Forest Reserve (Gongomin et al. 2019). We found two young females of P. annulatus (14.0 and 20.2 mm) in a site with high canopy forest on the slopes of a large granite inselberg. The dry forest ground was covered with multiple layers of leaf litter, but the undergrowth was sparse (07°34.364’N, 008°24.746’W; 643 m asl). Drier parts of the forest along slopes of inselbergs also comprise the usual habitat where this species was recorded in Taï National Park (M.-O. Rödel, unpub. data).
