Dwarf Puddle Frog
Material. MOUNT LICO (base): BMNH 2018.2552. Identification. This species is very similar to the sympatric Nothophryne sp. but differs in having a slender body, the underside speckled grey (not white as in Nothophryne ), and the presence of a tarsal tubercle. Comments. A single juvenile was found just before dusk on the trail to the climbing point of Mount Lico. Phrynobatrachus mababiensis is a species complex widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa ( Zimkus and Schick 2010).
