Syntype.
ZMB 23397 (formerly two specimens, one present in ZMB collection), “Windhuk” [Windhoek, Namibia], coll. Leonhard Scheben.
Present name.
Kassina senegalensis ( Duméril & Bibron, 1841).
Remarks.
Ahl (1930c: 281) exclusively designated two male specimens from “Windhuk” (ZMB 23397) as types ( “Typen”). Another syntype MCZ A-17650 (formerly the second specimen under ZMB 23397) was sent in exchange to MCZ in 1932 ( Barbour and Loveridge 1946: 132). Between 1909 and 1913, the German government veterinarian and farmer Scheben sent several amphibian and reptile collections from the former colony “Deutsch-Südwestafrika” to ZMB. Scheben collected in “Windhuk”, "Klein Nauas" and “Rehobot”.
