Uniform Reed Frog

Material: One female, NGK-Nimba 0011 (Fig. 9A), and two males, NGK-Nimba 0012 (Fig. 9B), NGK-Nimba 0020.

Comments: Hyperolius concolor is one of the most common West African frogs, widespread in a range of habitats from savannahs and farmbush to degraded and gallery forests (Schiøtz 1967; Rödel 2000). It even has been reported from urban sites (Kouamé et al. 2015). Calling males were abundant in rice paddies and grasscovered edges of ponds (07°31.928’N, 008°25.401’W; 425 m asl). The species is dichromatic (Portik et al. 2019), with females exhibiting a uniform light yellowishgreen back with reddish toe discs (SUL: 32.0–33.0 mm, N = 2); males in contrast are brownish, often with some dark patterns between the eyes and on the back (SUL: 23.5–25.5 mm, N = 5).
