From the IUCN Red List Species Account:

Range Description

Specimens have been assigned to this species from Kivu Province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, western Rwanda, northwestern Burundi, southwestern Uganda (Bwindi and Kibale Forests), and southwestern Tanzania (Mbisi Forest and Mount Rungwe). Its altitudinal range is unclear, but it at least occurs between 1,460 and 2,800m asl. Its distributional limits are still unclear, so the map should be considered approximate.

Habitat and Ecology

It is a leaf-litter species that lives in closed tropical forest, savannah and forest remnants (farm-bush). It breeds by direct development, and is not dependent on water.

Population

It is common in the appropriate habitat.

Population Trend

Unknown

Major Threats

There is little information, but it presumably cannot withstand the complete open access to its habitat.

Conservation Actions

It is present in the Virunga National Park (Democratic Republic of Congo), Kibale National Park (Uganda) and Bwindi National Park (Uganda).

Taxonomic Notes

There are major taxonomic problems with the genus Arthroleptis through much of Africa. In many cases, the available names can be referred only to museum specimens, not to animals in the field. This is because the identification of these species frequently depends more on their vocalizations than their morphology. This form almost certainly includes more than one species.
