Arthroleptis bequaerti Barbour and Loveridge 1929a

Proceedings of the New England Zoölogical Club, 11: 25.

Current name: Phrynobatrachus bequaerti (Barbour and Loveridge, 1929)

Paratypes (2): PEM A8518–8519 (formerly AMG 6741); Mt. Vissoke, Belgian Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo; J. Dencherd, 1927.

Remarks. The original type series consisted of 25 specimens: The holotype and 10 remaining paratypes remain in MCZ. Numerous paratypes have been exchanged: three to NMB, five to FMNH ( Marx 1958), one each to ZMB, UMMZ, UIMNH ( Smith et al. 1964), and BMNH. No reference is made in Barbour and Loveridge’s (1946) catalogue on the exchange of two paratypes (MCZ A-14771 and A-14772) to AMG or, for that matter, to any other museum. No documentation relating to the transfer survives from AMG. Transferred from Arthroleptis to Pararthroleptis by Deckert (1938), and subsequently to Phrynobatrachus by De Witte (1941).
