Comment
Amiet, 2005, Rev. Suisse Zool., 112: 271-310, discussed distinctiveness of this species from other members of the Hyperolius nasutus group in Cameroon—but could not elucidate the range of this species outside of that country and its distinctiveness from Hyperolius nasutus was rejected by Schiøtz, 1975, Treefrogs E. Afr.: 100. Pickersgill, 2007, Frog Search: 355, suggested that this name might synonymous with Hyperolius poweri. See account for Cameroon by Amiet, 2012, Rainettes Cameroun: 296-301.
