Description
This name is used with some uncertainty for one or several species of striped Afrixalus from open vegetation in the forest belt and humid savanna in central Africa. The name Afrixalus brevipalmatus is used in Cameroun, possibly for the same species (for further discussion, see the account under A. fulvovittatus).
