DESCRIPTION. — 7 specimens studied. Five females 48.5-64.2 mm; SVL of two males 47.8-55.2 mm SVL, close to e.g. those given by Konan et al. (2016), male size as 46.0- 60.9 mm and females size as 58.0- 65.1 mm; and by Rödel (2000), males 40-53 mm, females 51-64 mm. Snout very pointed and hind legs very long. Webbing formula: I 0 - ½ II 0 - 1 III 0 - 1 IV 1 - 0 V. On the back presence of four pairs of longitudinal ridges; a pair of short ridges and white lateral ridges on the flanks. Dominant dorsal colour a greyish to brown.
HABITAT. — During the dry season, the species can be found under stones on river banks, whereas they breed in savannah ponds during the rainy season (Rödel 2000). This frog occurs in open landscapes, savannah-forest ecotone and the degraded part of rainforest (Hughes 1988; Konan et al. 2016; Onadeko 2016). Some authors also list more arid habitats (Amiet 1974). It is widely distributed in West Africa and in a large part of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to South Africa (Rödel 2000; Channing 2001; Channing & Howell 2006).
