Comment

See account by Inger, 1968, Explor. Parc Natl. Garamba, Miss. H. de Saeger, 52: 127. See comment under Kassina mertensi. Amiet, 2007, Rev. Suisse Zool., 114: 102-113, discussed the difficulty of distinguishing this species from Kassina decorata and provided discussion of how identification can be arrived at. The range is highly provisional. See account for Cameroon by Amiet, 2012, Rainettes Cameroun: 376-386.
