HYPEROLIUS CINNAMOMEOVENTRIS View in CoL GROUP

Group II ofAmiet (2012) [partim]; Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris complex of Bell et al. (2019); H. cinnamomeoventris group of Dehling and Sinsch (2019); Group H of Ernst et al. (2021).

Contents (based on genetic data): H. cinnamomeoventris Bocage 1866 ; H. drewesi Bell 2016 ; H. molleri (Berdriaga 1892) ; H. olivaceus Buchholz and Peters, 1876 ; H. thomensis Bocage 1886 ; H. veithi Schick, Kielgast, Rödder, Muchai, Burger and Lötters, 2010 ( Schick et al. 2010, Bell et al. 2015, 2019, Portik et al. 2019).

Area of occurrence: Central Africa from central Cameroon in the North-West, the islands of the Gulf of Guinea in the West, South Sudan and western Kenya in the North-East, to south-western Angola in the South-West.

Other potential members: Channing and Rödel (2019) considered H. vilhenai Laurent 1964 from northern Angola to be part of the H. cinnamomeoventris complex based on unpublished molecular data. Hyperolius polli Laurent, 1943 was mentioned to be similar to H. cinnamomeoventris ( Laurent 1954) .
