Leptodactylodon perreti is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Cameroon and restricted to the central Cameroon Range. [1] [2] Common name Perret's egg frog has been coined for it. [1] [2]
The specific name perreti honours Jean-Luc Perret , a Swiss herpetologist who has specialized in African amphibians. [3]
Its natural habitats are forests primarily in montane, and to a lesser extent submontane zone. It is threatened by habitat loss. [1]
Astylosternus perreti is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon and known from Mount Manengouba and from parts of the Bamileke Highlands, at elevations of 1,200–1,400 m (3,900–4,600 ft) above sea level. It is one of the few species of African frogs to have claws, used on demand, when it feels threatened.
Leptodactylodon albiventris is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae.
Leptodactylodon axillaris is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, rivers, freshwater springs, rocky areas, and heavily degraded former forest. It is only recorded to Mount Bamboutos, West Region, Cameroon and is threatened by habitat loss.
Leptodactylodon bicolor is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in Cameroon and Nigeria. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, intermittent rivers, rocky areas, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Leptodactylodon blanci is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to Gabon and only known from its type locality, Reserve de Faune de la Lope. The specific name blanci honours Charles Pierre Blanc, a French herpetologist. Common name Lope egg frog has been coined for this species.
Leptodactylodon boulengeri is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the mountains of western Cameroon and the adjacent southern Nigeria, where it has recently been recorded in the Cross River State. The specific name boulengeri honours George Albert Boulenger, the famed Belgian-British herpetologist. Common name Boulenger's egg frog has been coined for this species.
Leptodactylodon bueanus is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon and known from the eastern slope of Mount Cameroon and from Bimbia Hill near Limbe. It was originally described as a subspecies of Leptodactylodon albiventris and is also similar to Leptodactylodon stevarti.
Leptodactylodon mertensi is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to the mountains of western Cameroon and occurs on the southern slopes of the Bamileke Plateau, Mount Nlonako, and Mount Manengouba. The specific name mertensi honours Robert Mertens, a German zoologist and herpetologist. Common name Mertens' egg frog has been coined for it.
Leptodactylodon ornatus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to western Cameroon. Common name ornate egg frog has been proposed for it.
Leptodactylodon ovatus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in western Cameroon and extreme eastern Nigeria. Two subspecies are distinguished: Leptodactylodon ovatus ovatus in the westernmost part of the range and Leptodactylodon ovatus orientalis in the east, probably separated by Mount Kupe.
Leptodactylodon polyacanthus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the highlands of western Cameroon and on the Obudu Plateau in eastern Nigeria. Common name African egg frog has been coined for it.
Leptodactylodon stevarti is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is known with certainty only from the area of its type locality, Monts de Cristal in northwestern Gabon. Only two specimens are known. However, there is an uncertain record from Equatorial Guinea that could represent this species or other, undescribed species. The specific name stevarti honours Tariq Stévart from the University of Brussels, an expert in western Central African orchids who help with the fieldwork. Common name Stévart's egg frog has been coined for the species.
Leptodactylodon wildi is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae.
Sclerophrys perreti is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to the Idanre Hills in southwestern Nigeria. Sclerophrys perreti is one of the frogs declared as "Lost" in 2010. However, it was re-discovered at its type locality in 2013. Before that, it had not been seen—possibly—since 1970, and with certainty, since 1963. Common name Perret's toad has been coined for it.
Afrixalus lacteus is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Cameroon and known from a few mountains in the western part of the country; specifically, it has been recorded from Mount Manengouba, Mount Nlonaka, and the southern Bamileke Highlands. Common name Cameroon banana frog has been coined for it. Prior to its description, it was confused with Afrixalus lindholmi.
Arlequinus is a genus of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae endemic to the Western High Plateau and Mount Cameroon, Cameroon. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Arlequinus krebsi, commonly known as the Mebebque frog. Its natural habitats are dense tropical forest; it is threatened by habitat loss caused by wood cutting, agriculture, and human settlement.
Leptopelis nordequatorialis, also known as the West Cameroon forest treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in central and western Cameroon and eastern Nigeria. It is closely related to Leptopelis anchietae and Leptopelis oryi.
Petropedetes perreti is a species of frog in the family Petropedetidae. It is endemic to Cameroon. It is known from the southern slopes of the Bamiléké Plateau, Mount Manengouba, and Mount Nlonako. Common name Perret's water frog has been coined for it.
Ptychadena perreti is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, southwestern Central African Republic and northern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
