misidentification, although Fretey et al. (2011) considered the species present in Angola. Unfortu¬ 
nately, the specimens used by Bocage (1866a, 1866b, 1895a, 1897b) were destroyed in the 1978 
fire at the Museu Bocage, Lisboa. Noble (1924) cited one specimen of//, concolor from Angola at 
the American Museum of Natural History, although he did not provide more precise locality infor¬ 
mation. 
Hyperolius dartevellei Laurent, 1943 Dartevelle’s Reed Frog 
Hyperolius dartevellei Laurent 1943:71, fig. 3. Holotype: MRAC 38385 (collector E. Dartevelle). Type local¬ 
ity: “Zambi, Bas-Congo”, Democratic Republic of Congo. 
Hyperolius nasutus adspersus: Laurent (1961:92). 
Hyperolius dartevellei'. Channing et al. (2002:96), Amiet (2015:275), Channing et al. (2013:319), Frost 
(2016). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Least Concern. 
Global distribution: The species is known from southern Cameroon to the lower Congo 
Basin, northern Angola and the highlands of northwestern Zambia. 
Ocurrences in Angola: The species is known from the most northern parts of Angola as plot¬ 
ted by Channing (2001). Those occurrences are not mapped here. 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Hyperolius dartevellei Laurent, 1943 was recently 
removed by Channing et al. (2013) from the synonymy of Hyperolius adspersus Peters, 1877, in 
which it had been placed by Laurent (1961). Channing et al. (2002) and Amiet (2005) considered 
it a member of nasutus complex. The species is presently only confirmed from northern Angola, 
including the Cabinda enclave (Channing et al. 2013). 
Hyperolius fuscigula Bocage, 1866 Brown-Throated Reed Frog (Endemic) 
Hyperolius fuseigula Bocage 1866a:56, 1866b:76. Syntypes: MBL 19-189 [2 specimens] (collector F.A.P. 
Bayao), destroyed by fire 18 March 1978. Type locality: “Duque de Bragan^a” (Bocage 1866a:56), 
[= Calandula], Angola.

Hyperolius einnamomeoventris'. Laurent (1943:67). 
Hyperolius {Hyperolius) fuseigula'. Fretey et al. 
(2011:30). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): 
Data Deficient. 
Global distribution: The species is 
known from Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 41): The 
species is known only from the type locality in 
Malanje. Malanje: “Duque de Braganqa” 
[-9.10000, 15.95000] (Bocage 1866a:56, 
1866b:76, 1895a:170, 1897a:204; Perret 
1976a:26). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Laurent (1943b) tentatively considered//yper- 
olius fuscigula Bocage, 1866 to be a synonym 
of Hyperolius einnamomeoventris Bocage. 
1866. Perret (1976a) noted the poor condition Map 41. Distribution ofin Angola.
