Description : Small reed frog; rounded snout. Dorsum green, with white dorso-lateral stripes and small scattered black spots; ventrum transparent; pedal webbing formula: I (1), II i/e (1–0.25), III (0.75–0.5), IV (0.75–0.5) , V (0.5). Male throat is white. Adult females (n = 14) varied from 15.9– 20.2 (18.5) mm (largest female: PEM A13810 View Materials ); adult males (n = 21) varied from 13.7–20.3 (17.2) mm (largest male: INBAC no number). Habitat and natural history notes: Found on the margins of source lakes, larger rivers, and cut-off oxbows. Comments: Found at certain localities in sympatry with Hyperolius cf. inyangae (see above), but can easily be distinguished based on the rounded snout and larger overall size .
