Hyperolius ghesquieri Laurent, 1943
Hyperolius ghesquieri Laurent, 1943, Ann. Mus. R. Congo Belge, Tervuren, Zool., 4: 98. Holotype: MRAC 1159, by original designation. Type locality: "Befale (Tshuapa)", central Dem. Rep. Congo.
English Names
Central Zaire Reed Frog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 67).
Distribution
Known only from the type locality (Befale, central Dem. Rep. Congo.
Comment
Extremely poorly known, known only from the holotype, and likely close to Hyperolius acutirostris, according to Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.: 153, although that species is restricted to Cameroon. Channing and Rödel, 2019, Field Guide Frogs & Other Amph. Afr.: 396, regarded this nominal taxon as too insufficiently known to treat adequately in their fieldguide.
