Taxonomic and distributional notes: Laurent (1954b) considered Monard’s usage of the 
name Ptychadena bibroni {non Hallowell) to refer to Ptychadena grandisonae Laurent, 1954. We 
agree with that conclusion and we also considQrRana {Ptychadena) bibroni (Monard 1937a, 1938) 
a synonym of grandisonae, since the distribution range for the real Ptychadena bibroni (Hallow¬ 
ell, 1845) is limited to the north of Gulf of Guinea, from the Gambia and Mauritania to the nort¬ 
heastern Demoeratie Republic of Congo and presumably to South Sudan (Frost, 2016).
