Description
Ptychadena tournieri (Guibé & Lamotte, 1955)
REMARK. — We have not yet found this species, neither during field work nor in the collections. So the following notes are based on literature only (Mohneke 2011).
LITERATURE REPORTS. — Burkina Faso • Ganzourgou province, Kougri; 12.39422°N, – 1.06500°W; 270 m a.s.l. and 12.40554°N, – 1.04391°W; 270 m a.s.l. (Mohneke 2011) • Wayen Rapadama Peulh; 12.36783°N, – 1.02033°W; 290 m a.s.l. (Mohneke 2011) • Gourma province, Pokiamanga; 12.08286°N, 0.44111°E; 290 m a.s.l. (Mohneke 2011) • Kompienga province, Kompienga; 11.65222°N, 0.52365°E; 260 m a.s.l.; I-III.2008 (Mohneke 2011).
DESCRIPTION. — Small and extremely slender species, with 33- 35 mm SVL for males and 41-43 mm for females (Rödel 2000). Limbs relatively thick and long as in P. pumilio. Webbing formula: I 1 - 1 ½ II 1 - 2 III 1 - 2 IV 1 ½ - 1 ½ V. Supernumerary tubercles present but poorly visible on the underside of toes II, III and IV. Three pairs of continuous longitudinal ridges on the back and a continuous white lateral ridge. For detailed descriptions see Rödel (2000) and Lamotte & Ohler (2000).
HABITAT. — Ptychadena tournieri inhabits open savannahs (SchiØtz 1967) and breeds in temporary ponds (Perret 1991; Rödel 2000; Nago et al. 2006). It is common in West African savannahs and has been recorded from southern Senegal to northern Benin (Bourgat 1979; Lamotte 1967a; Rödel 2000; Nago et al. 2006; Segniagbeto et al. 2007).
