Material (one specimen): One adult specimen (MHNCUP/ ANF 194 , formerly UP-MHNFCP-017327; Fig. S5 View FIGURE 5 ), collected from Chingo (Novo Redondo) [-11.20000º, 13.85000º, 11 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Sul Province, in 1903 .
Comments: Phrynomantis newtoni is a species known from low elevation coastal areas of southern and central Angola, ranging from Benguela to Luanda Province (Ceríaco et al. 2021). Boulenger had previously described the Angolan specimens as a Phrynomantis bifasciatus (Smith, 1847) variety – “Var. C” ( Boulenger 1882). Ferreira (1904) cited this specimen as an adult “ Phrynomantis bifasciatus ” of “Boulenger’s Var. C”. A recent study by Ceríaco et al. (2021) selected MHNC-UP/ANF194 as the holotype of the new taxon P. newtoni , honoring Francisco Newton as its collector and an important naturalist explorer.
