Norte: “Dundo” [-7.53333, 21.08333] (Lau¬ 
rent 1950a: 15); “Luachimo” [-7.36667, 
20.83333] (Laurent 1954a:77). Kwanza 
Norte: “N’golla Bumba” [-9.03333, 14.60000] 
(Ferreira 1906:161; Frost 1985:207, 210; 
Ceriaco et al. 2014a:23); “Rio Luinha” 
[-9.26667, 14.53333] (Ferreira 1906:161; Frost 
1985:210); “Quilombo” [-9.33333, 14.90000] 
(Ferreira 1906:161, 164; Frost 1985:210,2016; 
Ceriaeo et al. 2014a:22). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Ahl 
(1931a) elevated Rappia platyceps var. 
angolensis Ferreira, 1906. to full species and 
proposed the replacement name Hyperolius 
angolanus because of the the name was preoc¬ 
cupied by Hyperolius marmoratus var. 
angolensis Steindachner, 1862 (Ceriaco et al. 
1 -1 1 Map 50. Distribution ofin Angola. 
2014a). Ferreira (1906) also described as new 
Rappia fasciata from “Quilombo” and Rappia bivitatta from “N’golla Bumba”, “Quilombo,” and 
“Rio Luinha.” Recently Fretey et al. (2011) and Ceriaco et al. (2014a) rQcognizQd Hyperolius platy¬ 
ceps angolensis, Rappia fasciata, and Rappia bivittata as synonyms of H. platyceps.

Global conservation status (lUCN): 
Data Deficient. 
Global distribution: The species is 
known from the Democratic Republic of 
Congo and adjacent Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 51): The 
single species record is in Lunda Norte 
Province near the border with Congo. Lunda 
Norte: “Tshinguvu, Riv. Tshikapa” [-7.61667, 
20.50000] (Laurent 1954a:78). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
According to Laurent (1954a), the specimen 
from “Tshinguvu (Tshikapa)” is similar to 
Hyperolius cinnamomeoventris Bocage, 1866, 
but differs in some morphological characters. 
Currently it remains poorly known and its 
validity is uncertain.
