Ptychadena aequiplicata (Werner, 1898) Photo figures 22C–D TYPE LOCALITY.— “ Kamerun (Victoria und Buca)” Limbé and Buea , Cameroon.
DISTRIBUTION.— This species occurs across the rainforests of southern Guinea, Ivory Coast, eastern Liberia, and southwards to Central African Republic and western Democratic Republic of Congo. In Equatorial Guinea, it has been recorded both in Río Muni, at Cabo San Juan ( Boulenger 1903), Benito River ( Boulenger 1900), Monte Alén region ( De la Riva 1994) and Bioko, at Basupú ( Bocage 1895a) ( Map 25A View MAPS ).
COMMENTS.— Two records of Ptychadena mascareniensis (Duméril and Bibron, 1841) deserve some comments. The first one, from Cabo San Juan ( Río Muni) was provided by Boulenger (1903), and the second one (misspelled as “ P. mascaraniensis ”) by Gonwouo and Nsang (2005) for the region of Monte Mitra, in Monte Alén National Park. However, due to the lack of reliable records and the morphological similarity with P. aequiplicata (a very common species in Cabo San Juan and in Monte Alén National Park), we herein consider these records as P. aequiplicata .
