Ptychadena tournieri (Guibé and Lamotte, 1955)

Tournier’s Grass Frog

Material: Two females, NGK-Nimba 0054, NGK-Nimba 0055 (Fig. 14E), and one male, NGK-Nimba 0056 .

Comments: Ptychadena tournieri is widespread in patches of humid and dry savannahs from Senegal into Benin (Rödel 2000; Nago et al. 2006; Adeba et al. 2010; Channing and Rödel 2019). We found the species in open areas, most often among grasses at the edge of plantations. One male measured 35.0 mm, while three females ranged from 39.0–49.0 mm.
