Phrynobatrachus mababiensis FitzSimons, 1932 Mababe Puddle Frog

Comment: This species was heard calling in BNP (site 31) on 24 January 2009, and a single tadpole (A. Channing, pers. comm.) and adults ( Butler et al. 2019) have been collected in BNP. In Angola, it is recorded from Lagoa Nuntechite ( Poynton and Haacke 1993), Cubango, Cuito and Cuando rivers basins ( Conradie et al. 2016), and Tundavala ( Baptista et al. 2018). This species belongs to the P. cryptotis group ( Marques et al. 2018) and is in need of further taxonomic studies all over Africa ( Zimkus et al. 2010).
