Hyperolius bocagei Steindachner, 1867 View in CoL
Material (five specimens): One adult female and one adult male specimen (MHNCUP/ ANF 178–179 , formerly UP-MHNFCP-017306), collected from Cacuaco [-8.78333º, 13.36667º, 6 m a.s.l.] Luanda Province, in 1903 ; one adult specimen (MHNCUP/ ANF 219 , formerly UP-MHNFCP-017318; Fig. S16 View FIGURE S ), collected from Bahia dos Tigres [= Baía dos Tigres] (in error) [-16.58559º, 11.82709º, 98 m a.s.l.] Namibe Province, in 1905 ; two adult specimens (MHNCUP/ ANF 338–339 ), collected from unknown locality, date unknown .
Comments: Hyperolius bocagei is a species found in northeast and western Angola ( Marques et al. 2018). Ferreira (1904) cites male and female specimens (no precise number) of “ Rappia bocagei (Stenid.) ” from “Cacuaco”, corresponding to specimens MHNCUP/ANF 178–179.Another specimen of this species was used by Ferreira (1906) to describe a new variety – R. bocagei var. maculata – from “Golungo Alto”. MHNCUP/ANF 219 might correspond to the cited specimen (see Ceríaco et al. 2014b). The label for specimen MHNCUP/ANF 219 indicates the locality “Bahia dos Tigres”, a desert area on the southern coast of Namibe Province. This is certainly a labelling error, as the habitat is not suitable for Hyperolius species due to its extreme aridity.
