Comment
Schiøtz, 1975, Treefrogs E. Afr.: 128-130, doubted the diagnosability of the previously defined subspecies, and Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.: 161, formally rejected them. See brief account of Hyperolius lateralis pleurospilus by Laurent, 1972, Explor. Parc Natl. Virunga, Ser. 2, 22: 50-53. Channing and Howell, 2006, Amph. E. Afr.: 166-167, and Pickersgill, 2007, Frog Search: 365-366, provided accounts. Penner and Rödel, 2007, in Butynski and McCullough (eds.), RAP Bull. Biol. Assessment, 46: 37-41, provided a record for north-central Dem. Rep. Congo.
