Monard (1937a) originally described a new 
subspecies ofBufo regularis Reuss, 1833 based ‘5- Distribution of Sderophrys garmam in Angola. 
on specimens from “Molundo,” giving it the name Bufo regularis humbensis Monard, 1937. These 
specimens were deposited in the Musee d’histoire naturelle de La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, 
though Barbour and Loveridge (1946) also reported one cotype (MCZ A-23712) from “Molundo.” 
Ruas (1996) identified B. r humbensis as Bufo regularis sensu stricto, however she noted that some 
records identified as B. regularis may instead correspond to other Bufo (= Sclerophrys) species 
(following Tandy and Keith, 1972). Ruas (1996) recognized S. humbensis as a synonym of S. gar- 
mani rather than S. regularis. If S. garmani is restricted to northeastern Africa (Largen 2001), then 
Angolan specimens would either represent a relatively isolated population located near the Namib¬ 
ian border (Tandy and Keith 1972), correspond to another species such as S. poweri, or represent 
an undescribed species. Channing (2001) did not include A. garmani among the species of Ango¬ 
la, in contrast to both Fretey et al. (2011) and Frost (2016). 
from Ethiopia and northern Somalia, Angola, south to northeastern parts of South Africa, and the 
eastern Caprivi Strip of Namibia. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 15): The 
species occurs in southern and eastern Angola.

Negra)” [-11.83333, 19.93333] (Ruas 
2002:141). As Sclerophrys garmani humbensis 
(plotted as triangles): Huila: “Mulondo” 
[-15.63333, 15.20000] (Monard 1937a:26, 
1938:78; Barbour and Loveridge 1946:84; 
Ruas 1996:21). Cunene: “Mupa” [-16.18333, 
15.75000] (Monard 1937a:26, 1938:78; Ruas 
1996:21); “Humbi (Humbe)” [-16.68333, 
14.90000] (Monard 1937a:26, 1938:78; Ruas 
1996:21). Undetermined Locality: “western 
subregion and Angolan highlands (Angola 
coastal or watersheds)” (Frade 1963:254).
