Comment
Confused with Afrixalus lindholmi by Amiet, 1972, Ann. Fac. Sci. Cameroun, 9: 127-153, according to J.-L. Perret in Frost, 1985, Amph. Species World: 222. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 281. Amiet, 2009, Rev. Suisse Zool., 116: 85-88, provided an account for Cameroon and suggested this species to be close to Afrixalus fulvovittatus. See account for Cameroon by Amiet, 2012, Rainettes Cameroun: 118-123.
