Cardioglossa Boulenger, 1900

This genus is related to Arthroleptis and was recently synonymized with it within a large phylogenetic metaanalysis of recent amphibians ( Dubois et al. 2021; given obviously in error as a synonym of Astylosternus in the text, while as a synonym of Arthroleptis in the phylogenetic trees). However, we follow the last focused study on these genera ( Blackburn 2008) and continue to recognize them here as two separate genera, as do Blackburn et al. (2021) in the note at the end of the article on the phylogeny of Cardioglossa and Frost (2021) in his database.
