ZMB 39013, 79403-79439 and 80407 (formerly part of ZMB 39013), coll. Johann Gustav Hermann Schubotz; ZMB 43553, 43584-43590 and 79402, coll. Franz Ludwig Stuhlmann; all from “Bukoba” [Bukoba Urban District, Kagera Region, Tanzania],

Present name.

Hyperolius viridiflavus ( Duméril & Bibron, 1841).

Remarks.

Two drawings showing the variation of this taxon are illustrated by Ahl (1931b: 299, fig. 174). Ahl (1931a: 42) mentioned 89 specimens and explicitly states that the types ["die Typen"] are among the material from “Bukoba” without specifying a number or the collector. Therefore we do not regard specimens listed by Ahl (18931a: 42) from “Rugege-Wald”, "Vulkangebiet nord-östlich des Kivu-See’s”, “Sisse” [sic], “W-Niansa” [Sesse or Ssese Archipelago, Lake Victoria, Uganda], and “Njamagelo” as part of the type series, and restrict the type series to those frogs from Bukoba.
