Present name.

Hyperolius substriatus Ahl, 1931.

Remarks.

Drawings illustrating the variation of this taxon were published by Ahl (1931b: 358, fig. 234), reprinted from Tornier (1896, pl. 4, figs 65, 67, 69, 71). Ahl (1931a: 85) mentions all together 65 specimens of which we could not locate the material collected from "Konde Nika" and “Derema”. For Martienssen’s activities in East Africa and locality information and collecting dates, see remarks on H. pygmaeus , as well as Gvoždík et al. (2014).
