Material: Twelve (12) specimens. Doumaye: CAS 258167–69, 258332–33, 258170; GFMJ 1303–06. Fig. 7E–G.

Comments: We found H. adspersus in open, natural savanna habitat. Individuals called in high densities from grasses in and at the edge of shallow ponds. This species was previously considered a part of the Hyperolius nasutus complex ( Channing et al. 2013). This species is known from Batéké Plateau NP, Loango NP ( Burger et al. 2006), Moukalaba-Doudou NP ( Burger et al. 2004), and Pongara NP (Pauwels 2016). It is also known from Libreville (Gratwick et al. 2011).
