ZMB 36089, “Rugegewald” [Nyungwe Forest, Cyangugu Prefecture, West Province, Rwanda], coll. Rudolf Grauer.

Present name.

Hyperolius discodactylus Ahl, 1931.

Remarks.

Drawing in Ahl (1931b: 364, fig. 239). According to Ahl (1931a: 90) the original series consists of seven specimens from “Rugegewald”, including the “Type” and from "westlich des Albert-Edward-Sees’s” [west of Lake Edward, Democratic Republic of the Congo], all coll. Grauer. A paratype MCZ A-17634 from Lake Edward, coll. Grauer was sent in exchange to MCZ in 1932 ( Barbour and Loveridge 1946: 128). The remaining five paratypes could not be located. Liedtke et al. (2014) regarded ZMB 36089 as lectotype and restricted the type locality to "Nyungwe Forest (most likely Rwasenkoko [Uwasenkoko])".
