Kachalola Reed Frog

Material. HILLWOOD FARM: BMNH 2018.5676, BMNH 2018.5677–80. Comments: Juvenile specimens collected during the day on vegetation near a stream in mushito forest. In life, the overall coloration was green with a faint canthal and dorsolateral line, consisting of small spots. The green color faded after preservation, although the line is still visible. This agrees with the description provided by Schiøtz (1975). The sequenced individual shows 98% similarity with H. kachalolae from northern Zambia (D. Portik, pers. comm.).
