Treatment

This genus was recently established based on evidence that “ Hyperolius ” robustus is phylogenetically placed outside the genus Hyperolius ( Nečas et al. 2021) . The Congo frog forms a common clade with West African Morerella and Central African Cryptothylax . This new and monotypic genus is probably endemic to the Central Congolian forests.
