Ptychadena oxyrhynchus (Smith, 1849)

Specimen.

Angola: Duque de Bragança : BMNH 1864.10.28.2 .

Comments.

Among the material collected by Bayão at Duque de Bragança and sent to the British Museum in 1864, Bocage tentatively referred two specimens (No. 4) to “ R. superciliaris ? ” ( NHMA /DF/GüntherColl/16/1/106 ), which Günther identified as Rana oxyrhyncha ( AHMB /CE/G76 ), later reported by Boulenger (1882 b). One of the specimens (originally BMNH 1864.10.28.3 ) was subsequently exchanged to the Iziko South African Museum in Cape Town, South Africa, where it remains deposited under the catalog number SAM ZR-002338 .
