Comment
Schmidt and Inger, 1959, Explor. Parc Natl. Upemba, Miss. G.F. de Witte, 56: 127 (on the basis of a huge sample) considered Arthroleptis muta and Arthroleptis lameeri to be synonyms (and juveniles) of Arthroleptis globosa, an arrangement doubted by Laurent, 1964, Publ. Cult. Companhia Diamantes Angola, 67: 146. Channing, 2001, Amph. Cent. S. Afr.: 50, provided a brief account. Frétey, 2008, Alytes, 25: 99–172, summarized the literature. Marques, Ceríaco, Blackburn, and Bauer, 2018, Proc. California Acad. Sci., Ser. 4, 65 (Suppl. II): 118–119, provided a map and brief account for Angola. Channing and Rödel, 2019, Field Guide Frogs & Other Amph. Afr.: 256–257, provided a brief account, photograph, and range map. Dehling and Sinsch, 2023, Diversity, 15 (512): 65, specifically excluded this species from the fauna of Rwanda.
