	abstract = {<p>In 1927, Barbour \&amp; Loveridge described two species of Cardioglossa based on seven specimens from Liberia: C decorata (six specimens) and C. liberiensis. Cardioglosso decorata has long been recognized as a junior synonym of Phrynobatrachus fraterculus (Chabanaud 1921), which is known from Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Me d\&rsquo;lvoire. Cardioglossa liberiensis Barbour \&amp; Loveridge 1927, known from only a single specimen, is also a junior synonym of P. fraterculus (Chabanaud 192 1). Cardioglossa liberiensis represents the seemingly rare \&quot;maculiventris\&quot; colour phase of P. fraterculus that was first recognized by Guibe \&amp; Lamotte (1963). At present, only two species of Cardioglossa, C aureoli and C leucomystax, are known from west of Nigeria.</p>
