Identification of the various species of the genus Leptopelis (especially L. susanae , L. ragazzii , and L. vannutellii ) using only morphological characters is almost impossible ( Mengistu et al. 2012). Consulting former distribution of the species is more reliable for identifying the species ( Weinsheimer et al. 2010). L. ragazzii ( Fig. 5A View Fig ), which is a small sized species, is known to exist in southwestern Ethiopia in the elevational range between 1,900 –3,100 m ( Largen 2001). During the current survey, the species was collected in the elevation range between 1,490 -1,680 m. During wet season, a greater number of individuals was caught than during dry season collection.
