DESCRIPTION. — Small to medium sized frog (SVL 31.5- 37.5 mm ♂, 62.0 mm ♀), with a fairly robust and stocky body. Snout oval or rounded. Head as wide as long (HW 26-37% SVL; HL 26-34% SVL). Tympanum distinct (TYD 4-5% SVL).Tibia short (TL 30-39% SVL). Webbing absent, phalanges all free. Skin smooth on back, flank with glandular warts; very granular chest and belly.

SEXUAL DIMORPHISM. — In males, the throat is black, with welldeveloped glandular disc on subgular vocal sac.

HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is mainly a Sudanian savannah species (Hughes 1988; Böhme et al. 1996; Rödel 2000). Its distribution in Togo is limited to ecological zones I and II, similar to the species distribution in neighbouring Benin (Nago et al. 2006). The species was reported in Togo by Bourgat (1979) from Kanté. We observed this species in Bounaka and the northern Fazao Malfakassa National Park.
