Description This frog is remarkably similar to H. fusciventris, especially after preservation, but differs in a number of minor morphological characters and, in life, by its ventral coloration. Furthermore H. fusciventris is a bushland form while H. wermuthi is a forest form, so although their ranges overlap they may not actually be sympatric.
The correct name for this species may be Hyperolius soror Chabanaud 1921, type locality N’Zerekoré, Guinea. Distribution and Habitat Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia
