Comment
Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.: 147, suggested that populations from eastern Dem. Rep. Congo may actually be composite, including Hyperolius kuligae, and possibly identical with Hyperolius platyceps to the west. See comments by Köhler, Scheelke, Schick, Veith, and Lötters, 2005, Afr. Zool., 40: 135. Channing and Howell, 2006, Amph. E. Afr.: 165-166, provided an account.
