Hyperolius adspersus Peters, 1877 View in CoL
Material (two specimens): Two adult female specimens (MHNCUP/ ANF 210–211 , formerly UP-MHNFCP-017298 and UP-MHNFCP-017292; Fig. S7 View FIGURE 7 ), collected from Cabiri [-8.92125º, 13.66654º, 31 m a.s.l.], Bengo Province, in 1903 .
Comments: Hyperolius adspersus was originally described from “Chinchoxo”, Cabinda Province ( Peters 1877), and has been recorded from a few other localities in Bengo, Lunda-Sul and Moxico provinces ( Marques et al. 2018), but its distribution extends northwest to southern Cameroon ( Channing & Rödel 2019). The species has remained understudied and is a part of the Hyperolius nasutus Günther, 1865 group (Channing et al. 2013). The extant specimens were used by Ferreira (1904) as the type specimens for what he considered a new taxon, Rappia nobrei , named in homage to Augusto Nobre. However, after revision of the type series, Ceríaco et al. (2014b) suggested that Rappia [= Hyperolius ] nobrei is a junior synonym H. adspersus .
