considered that it was present. Due to the lack 
of recent data and the limited information sup¬ 
plied by previous authors for Angolan speci¬ 
mens, the presence of L. viridis in Angola is 
questionable.

Trichobatrachus robustus'. Amiet and Burger (2004), Frost (2016). 
Trichobatrachus cf robustus'. Ernst et al. (2014:298, 299). 
Global conservation status (lUCN): Least Concern. 
Global distribution: This forest species occurs throughout the Atlantic Coastal Forests, 
extending from Nigeria and Cameroon south into northern Angola. 
Ocurrences in Angola (Map 75): This 
species was only recently reported from Uige 
Province in the north of the country. Uige; 
“Serra Pingano (along Mbalage creek)” 
[-7.66814, 14.93519] (Enst et al. 2014:289); 
“Serra Pingano, approximatley 40 m away 
from Mbalage ereek” [-7.68467, 14.93242] 
(Enst et al. 2014:289); “Mbalage creek, Serra 
Pingano” [-7.68514, 14.92944] (Enst et al. 
2014:289). 
Taxonomic and distributional notes: 
Ernst et al. (2014) discovered a distinct lineage 
of Trichobatrachus in “Serra do Uige,” an iso¬ 
lated forest remnant in northern Angola. Fur¬ 
ther studies are needed to clarify whether this 
population is conspecifie with those from far¬ 
ther north in Cameron and Gabon (Ernst et al., 
2014). There remains little information
