Comments: Following the key in Poynton and Broadley (1985a), this series should be assigned to Ptychadena upembae . The BLAST search shows that the closest match (96%) is Ptychadena aff. porosissima (GenBank accession number DQ 525940) from Tanzania, but it is important to note that there is no sequence of P. upembae available for comparison.
