Leptopelis modestus (Werner, 1898) View in CoL

TYPE LOCALITY.— “ Kamerun ”; restricted to “ Buéa , Cameroon ” by lectotype designation .

DISTRIBUTION.— This species inhabits the forests of southern Nigeria and Cameroon. In Equatorial Guinea, it is only recorded from Bioko ( Hydeman et al. 2017) ( Map 9A View MAPS ).

COMMENTS.— Populations from Bioko represent an independent lineage from those in mainland Cameroon (authors’ unpublished data). However, an integrative approach is necessary to test if this insular lineage is part of the geographically structured intraspecific variability or a different species.

SPECIMENS EXAMINED.— One specimen. Moka, Bioko, 03°20ʹ23.47ʺN, 08°40ʹ6.20ʺE, 15 November 2003 ( MNCN 50377 About MNCN ) GoogleMaps .
