Ptychadena uzungwensis

Description

Ptychadena uzungwensis (Loveridge, 1932)

Uzungwe Ridged Frog

Material: PEM A10369 (27).

Comment: In Angola it was previously restricted to the east and central region (Loveridge 1932; Monard 1937a; Laurent 1954, 1964; Poynton and Haacke 1993; Ruas 1996), but the current specimen extends the range southeast into Kuando-Kubango Province.
