Description
Ptychadena pumilio (Boulenger, 1920)
Western Dwarf Grass Frog
Material: Female, NGK-Nimba 0069 (Fig. 13H).
Comments: A female P. pumilio was recorded in an open area with a shallow but densely vegetated pond near the Yéalé village (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The species is known from a wide range of habitats from humid to dry savannahs, to open areas in degraded forests, and ranges from southern Mauritania through the savannah belt to eastern Africa (Rödel 2000; Onadeko and Rödel 2008; Padial et al. 2008; Adeba et al. 2010; Channing and Rödel 2019).
