Season/survey: Wet (May 2018, Nov 2018), dry (Aug 2019).

Material: CSB:Herp: RNBK 131, 155, 179, 209, 210, 230, 419, 561–564, 567–569, 575, 609, 682–684, 686– 689, 692, 693; IVB-H-CD 18052, 18064, 18065.

Comments: This species is known from Cameroon to DRC, but has also recently been recorded in northern Angola ( Jongsma et al. 2018; Ernst et al. 2020). Compared to A. cf. albolabris , it has been encountered relatively rarely in Kokolopori. It is more confined to forested habitats than the previous species. Females are much larger than males.
