Hyperolius albofrenatus Ahl, 1931a: 53.

Holotype.

ZMB 86012, "Deutsch-Ost-Afrika (genauerer Fundort unbekannt [without precise locality])" [probably Tanzania], coll. Ule, 22.XI.1912.

Present name.

Hyperolius albofrenatus Ahl, 1931a.

Remarks.

Drawing in Ahl (1931b: 315, fig. 189). There remains confusion about the collector and, related to this, the likely place of collection. A man by the name of Ernst Heinrich Georg Ule collected in Brazil and donated two frogs to the herpetological collection, one with the accession catalogue number C-581 (from November/December 1912) without further data, and a second one (C-145) on 21 May 1904, collected on the Upper Amazon. The frog thus might actually be a South American tree frog and not a hyperoliid. However, another person named Dr. Ferdinand Uhl was a member of the "Deutsche Schutztruppe" in East Africa who collected the holotype of Hyperolius guttolineatus Ahl, 1931 (see below, unlocated type specimens). Lastly, a person with the surname Uhle collected in Sumatra, Bolivia and Argentina. Thus, neither the identity of the frog, nor its geographic origin and collector can be determined with certainty.
