Sclerophrys xeros View in CoL (Tandy, Tandy, Keith, and Duff- MacKay, 1976)

Vouchers: NMK-A1817 (field no. SK1118) Localities: TBI

Remarks: One male was calling on 13 April 2017 in an artificial water reservoir at TBI. This was the only individual we recorded of this widespread species from dry savanna and semi-desert. The specimen ( Fig. 3B) showed the bright scarlet vermiculation on the posterior femoral integument typical for S. xeros . In addition, the call resembled typical S. xeros calls.
