Comment
Lasso, Rial, Castroviejo, and De la Riva, 2002, Graellsia, 58: 21-34, provided notes on ecological distribution in Equatorial Guinea. Pauwels and Rödel, 2007, Herpetozoa, Wien, 19: 135-148, did not note the species as occurring in Gabon. Channing and Rödel, 2019, Field Guide Frogs & Other Amph. Afr.: 242–243, provided a brief account, photograph, and range map, including Gabon specifically as well as western Rep. Congo. See brief account and range map for Equatorial Guinea in Sánchez-Vialas, Calvo-Revuelta, Castroviejo-Fisher, and De la Riva, 2020, Proc. California Acad. Sci., Ser. 4, 66: 137–230.
