Hyperolius bivittatus Peters, 1854: 627.

Syntypes.

ZMB 4529 and ZMB 52503-52509 (formerly part of ZMB 4529), “Boror” [Companhia do Boror, Zambezia Province, Mozambique], coll. Wilhelm Carl Hartwig Peters.

Present name.

Afrixalus fornasini (Bianconi, 1849).

Remarks.

Depicted in Peters (1882b, pl. 24, fig. 2 and pl. 26, fig. 6, sternum). Peters (1882b: 161) specified that he found this species in March 1846, often in grass and on bushes in the Prazo [estate] Boror northwest of Quellimane. Poynton and Broadley (1987: 192) incorrectly state that the description of H. bivittatus is based on a holotype.
