Leptopelis jordani Parker, 1936 Congulu Forest Treefrog (Endemic) 
Leptopelis jordani Parker 1936:144. Holotype: BMNH 1947.2.19.95 [formerly BMNH 1936.8.1.226] (eol- 
leetor K. Jordan). Type loeality: “Congulu (700-800m)” [= Congulo] Kwanza Sul Provinee, Angola. 
Leptopelis jordani Parker, 1936: Frost (1985:230, 2016), Fretey et al. (2011:36). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): 
Data Deficient. 
Global distribution: This species is 
known only from Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 71): The 
species is known only from the type locality 
“Congulu” in western Angola. Kwanza Sul: 
“Congulu (700-800m)” [-10.86667, 14.28333] 
(Parker 1936:144; Frost 1985:230, 2016). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: In 
his description, Parker (1936) noted similari¬ 
ties to the widespread Leptopelis aubryi 
(Dumeril, 1856). There have been no recent 
records since the original description and the 
validity of this taxon remains in question. This 
species is not mentioned in Schiotz (1999) or 
Channing (2001).

Perret 1976a:23, Frost 1985:230, 2016). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Perret (1976a) concluded that L. marginatus 
was a valid species, in contrast to Loveridge 
(1933) who recognized it as a synonym of 
Leptopelis boeagii (Gunther, 1865). There have 
been no other recent records and the holotype
