Guttural Toad

Material. CHAVUMA FR: BMNH 2018.5703; LIVINGSTONE: BMNH 2018.5702; LUKWAKWA: BMNH 2018.5705–06, BMNH 2018.5707; MAYUKUYUKU: BMNH 2018.5701 ( Fig. 3D ); NKWAJI: BMNH 2018.5704. Comments: This species is found in miombo and Cryptosepalum forest. These specimens lack the typical red infusions on their thighs, although this could be due to preservation. Specimen identification was confirmed using DNA barcoding (100% sequence similarity with AF220876, from Botswana).
