Perret I976a:25; Frost 1985:218, 2016; Poynton and Haacke 1993:15). Undetermined Locality: 
without precise locality (Laurent 1954a:79); “areas of forest and savanna in the north and northeast 
of Angola” (Cei 1977:17); “plateaus regions” (Cei 1977:17). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: The holotype was destroyed in the 1978 fire in the zoo¬ 
logical collections in Museu Bocage. Laurent (1954a) described Hyperolius machadoi (Laurent, 
1954) from “Camissombo” in Lunda Norte Porvince, but then later Laurent (1964a) synonymized 
it with H. steindachneri. The only recent report of this species was by Conradie et al. (2012a) who 
reported several specimens referred to as H. cf steindachneri from Lagao Carumbo in Lunda 
Norte.

known only from northernmost Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 58): The 
species is known only from the type locality 
(northern Angola). Lunda Norte: “galerie 
forestiere de la riviere, Luita, Poste de Cuilo” 
[-8.03333, 19.41667] (Laurent 1964a:155; 
Frost 1985:219, 2016). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: If 
valid, the species is also likely to be found in 
the adjacent Democratic Republic of Congo 
(Frost 1985, 2016, Sehiotz 1999; Channing 
2001 ).
