Description
Ptychadena sp.
Material. ANGOLA – Cabinda Province • Fazenda Mandarim; –5.0401, 12.0508; 14 m a.s.l.; P4.075; GenBank: PQ455935.
Identification. Within the Ptychadena mascareniensis species complex, we identified a second independent lineage which differs from material of P. mascareniensis OTU 6 collected from Cabinda Province by ∼3.4% (16S p -distance). This material clusters with material ascribed to OTUs 4, 5 and 8 from West Africa and north-eastern DRC (Zimkus et al. 2017), but it represents a distinct lineage. Thus, we regard this material as “ Ptycadena sp.” pending further investigation.
Biology and distribution. The specimen was collected on a palm oil plantation in the Coastal Drier Belt.
