Ptychadena amharensis
| family: Ptychadenidae |

Taxonomic Notes: There are risks in publishing names of new species in journals that are on-line only. Names for this species and four other congeners were assigned in a paper published in Royal Society Open Science 4(170021): 1–15, 2017. Because Zoobank numbers, required by the revised Code for on-line only publications, were absent the names were nomina nuda. The names were seemingly made valid in a subsequent publication by the same authors: Royal Society Open Science 4(171389): 1–3, 2017. However, this paper fails to state in which permanent collection the types are deposited, as required by Code, although this information was included in the first paper, raising the unresolved technical question of legality of the names. |
