Map 93 . Distribution of Phrynobatrachus brevipalmatus 
in Angola. 
Phrynobatrachus cryptotis group 
Given the considerable nomenclatural and taxonomic confusion regarding P. cryptotis, 
P mababiensis, P minutus and P. parvulus, we have opted to combine all of their distributional and 
taxonomic notes into the same account, although, specific accounts for each one, with the list of 
chresonyms and type specimen data still follow below. Records attributed to each species are 
provided below separately, indicated by the name and noting the different symbols used to plot the 
records on the combined map.
