Description
Chiromantis cf. rufescens (Günther, 1869)
Fig. 11H.
Area: Bechuchuu, Yalokole, Yotemankele.
Season/survey: Wet (May 2018, Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019, Jul 2020).
Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 218, 235, 255, 283, 538, 539, 814–817; IVB-H-CD 18236.
Comments: A relatively rarely encountered species in Kokolopori. Foam nests with adults sitting nearby were observed on vegetation in secondary forest during both the wet and dry seasons (May 2018, Jul 2020). Some foam nests were found almost on the ground near a swamp. It is not known how far into the Central Congolian forests this species is distributed, however some specimens in the RMCA are also from the more western province of Équateur.
