Description
A little-known Leptopelis from Angola. Dorsum brown. Sides of head and body darker, well delimited from the lighter back. Limbs brown with white spots. Males with pectoral glands. This species is, according to Perret, similar to L. nordequatorialis and L. oryi although the latter lacks pectoral glands.
