Present name.

Hyperolius substriatus Ahl, 1931.

Remarks.

Drawings illustrating the variation of this taxon were published by Ahl (1931b: 358, fig. 234), reprinted from Tornier (1896, pl. 4, figs 65, 67, 69, 71). Ahl (1931a: 85) mentions all together 65 specimens of which we could not locate the material collected from "Konde Nika" and “Derema” . For Martienssen’s activities in East Africa and locality information and collecting dates, see remarks on H. pygmaeus, as well as Gvoždík et al. (2014).
