COMMENTS. — This species was described from a juvenile specimen collected in Calandula, Angola “ Duque de Bragança ”. In Equatorial Guinea, Boulenger (1882) reported this species, as Bufo benguelensis, on Bioko (then known as Fernando Poo) and “ Benguela ”; this taxon was synonymized with B. funereus by Bocage (1895 b). However, the taxonomic status and, consequently, the distribution of S. funerea is not clear (Marques et al. 2018), and its presence in Equatorial Guinea is doubtful. SPECIMENS EXAMINED. — We did not find any specimen of this taxon in the collections examined in this study.
