albolabris acutirostris based on a single specimen from “Congulu” and four from “Quirimbo.” As 
the name was preoccupied, Mertens (1938b) provided the replacement name Rana albolabris park- 
eriana (Loverdige 1941a; Barbour and Loveridge 1946; Ferret 1977). There have been no new 
records since the description of this species and its distinction from other large-bodied species of 
Amnirana, such as A. lepus, remains in doubt.
