Comment
In the Hyperolius tuberculatus group of the Hyperolius viridiflavus complex according to Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.: 195. See Laurent, 1983, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Suppl., 18: 1-93, for discussion. Schiøtz, 1999, Treefrogs Afr.: 195, considered Hyperolius nimbae and Hyperolius tuberculatus to be distinct species on the basis of call differences.
