Identification. A medium-sized Leptopelis (SVL = 46–58 mm) that can be distinguished from other Leptopelis occurring in Cabinda Province by having large dark markings on the flanks, hidden parts of the limbs bright yellow with dark marbling, and coppercoloured eyes. The material from this study is almost identical (0.8% 16S p -distance) to material from Lekoumou, Republic of the Congo (GenBank: KY080253), but differs by ∼2.3% (16S p -distance) from material collected from Birougou, Gabon (∼ 215 km from the type locality) (GenBank: KX260264).

Biology and distribution. The species is distributed from Cameroon to Cabinda Province and western DRC (Channing and Rödel 2019). Leptopelis ocellatus can be found in a wide panoply of ecological zones from lowland forest to more disturbed areas. In Cabinda Province, this species has been found in gallery, primary and secondary forests, in the Littoral Peneplain and Lower Mayombe, in sympatry with L. aubryi, L. cf. aubryioides, L. boulengeri and L. cf. calcaratus .
