Description: Medium sized reed frog. No sexual dichromatism observed; both sexes with lime green to olive dorsum; protruding yellow eyes; red inner thighs; ventrum yellow. Males with yellow gular disc. Adult females (n = 3) varied from 20.3 – 29.1 (25.0) mm (largest female PEM A 13789); adult males (n = 9) varied from 19.1 – 22.8 (21.6) mm (largest male: PEM A 12443). Habitat and natural history notes: Only recorded from the western side of the study area, where it was associated with the Cubango and Cuito rivers. Comments: Widely recorded from the interior highlands of Angola (Conradie et al. 2013). The map in Marques et al. (2018) incorrectly plotted records from southern Cuando Cubango Province. The southeasternmost Angolan record of this species is close to the town of Menongue (Conradie et al. 2013).
