Tomopterna cf. cryptotis ( Boulenger, 1907) View in CoL

Cryptic Sand Frog

Material: PEM A10786‒8 (29), 10790‒3 (29) and 10968 (44a); SAIAB 101004 (29) and 187435 (22c).

Comment: Recorded from only a handful of localities in Angola ( Boulenger 1907; Poynton and Haacke 1993). Species delineation in the genus is problematic and often dependent upon vocalization and chromosome number. We assign our material conservatively as specimens may represent either T. tandyi , T. cryptotis or even further cryptic diversity.
