was destroyed in the 1978 fire in Museu Bocage. This species is not mentioned Schiotz (1999) or 
Channing (2001). This should be recognized as a nomen dubium.

ning et al. (2012:116), lUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group (2013a), Frost (2016).

Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Map 73. Distribution of Leptopelis notatus in Angola. 
Fretey et al. (2011) questioned the presence of this species in Angola. 
Leptopelis viridis (Gunther, “1868” 1869) Rusty Forest Treefrog 
Hylambates viridis Gunther “1868” 1869:487. Holotype: BMNH 1947.2.10.23 (purchased from Mr. Stevens), 
formerly BMNH 65.5.3.63. Type locality: “West Africa”. 
Hylambates viridis: Bocage (1873b:226, 1895a: 176, 1897a:205), Boulenger (1882:134). 
Leptopelis viridis: Fretey et al. (2011:37), lUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group (2013b), Frost (2016). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Least Concern. 
Global distribution: This species is found in savannas across western and Central Africa, 
extending south into Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 74): The species has been recorded from Malanje Province. 
Malanje: “Duque de Braganga” [-9.10000, 15.95000] (Bocage 1873b:206, 1895a: 179, 
1897a:205). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: Bocage (1873b, 1895a, 1897a) cited a single juvenile 
from “Duque de Braganga” collected by Bayao whereas Boulenger (1882) cited another individual 
from Angola collected by J. J. Monteiro, although without locality. Many recent summaries of the 
distribution of this species, including Schiotz (1999), lUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group 
(2013b), and Frost (2016), have excluded Angola from its distribution though Fretey et al. (2011)
