Additional information


A forest Hyperolius from the Eastern Arc. Males small (20-23 mm.), females medium (29-34 mm). Gular flap in males rather large, smooth. Dorsum green with a broad light canthal and dorsolateral stripe.
Described under the name H. tanneri, gramatically incorrect since the name is in honour of Mrs. and Mr. Tanner. Only known from one locality: a small swamp bordering a little brook in dense, undisturbed montane forest at 1410 m., Mazumbai, Western Usambaras. No voice heard.
