Comment

See Schiøtz, 1964, Vidensk. Medd. Dansk Naturhist. Foren., 127: 25, for synonymy. Rödel and Bangoura, 2004, Tropical Zool., 17: 219, briefly discussed the range and reported the species in Guinea, although noting some concern for identification. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 477, who noted that records from Togo and Ghana are referrable to Conraua deroori, and they provided a personal communication from M.-O. Rödel that this taxon is a species complex.
