	abstract = {<p>The East African rainforests are areas of prime biogeographical importance. The significance of the amphibian fauna of the region as a biogeographical indicator group, first recognized by Schiotz (1981) is reiterated. Schiotz\&rsquo; 1981 list of East african rainforest amphibians is corrected and updated. A new species of dwarf toad [Nectophrynoides wendyae sp. nov.] from the rainforest of the Uzungwe Mountains, Tanzania is described. The new species is tentatively assigned to the genus Nectophrynoides Noble 1926, and comment on the relationships of the new species and of the Nectophrynoides-Didynamipus group is included. It is suggested that many of the African bufonid genera, especially those including dwarf forms, are currently poorly defined; primitive characters, characters involving the loss of structures and characters subject to a high level of homoplasy often being used. Some possible solutions to this problem are given. The need for a better understanding of the biology of rainforest Amphibia, especially the dwarf species, is seen to be of more immediate importance than the question of their relationships.</p>

	abstract = {<p>A new genus and species, ERICABATRACHUS baleensis, is described from forested localities in the Bale Mountains of Ethiopia. The new taxon seems most closely allied to Petropedetes Reichenow 1874, from West Africa, and to Arthroleptides Nieden 1910, which is found in Kenya and Tanzania. It resembles these genera in being associated with fast-flowing forest streams and there is circumstantial evidence of a terrestrial life cycle, perhaps similar to that observed in some species of Petropedetes. Morphological features which are considered to justify the recognition of a new genus include the small size and distinctive habitus of the animal, significantly reduced first finger and subarticular tubercles, and a striking ventral colour pattern.</p>

	abstract = {Most herpetological research in Eritrea was conducted during the period 18271930 and was almost exclusively the preserve of Italian enthusiasts, who concentrated their efforts within an 80 km radius of Asmara. Virtually no field work has been undertaken on the Eritrean mainland in the past 65 years and a great deal still remains to be learned about the composition, distribution and status of the herpetofauna. The 109 species provisionally listed in the present work (Anura 19, Testudines 9, Crocodylia 1, Sauria 45, Serpentes 35) are predominantly savanna (37.5\%) and deserticolous (33.1\%) forms and the Eritrean highlands are impoverished by aridity. Of eight taxa which extend into this region from the Ethiopian Plateau, only three appear to be genuinely montane and the ability of the remainder to colonize lowland sites elsewhere in their ranges is taken as evidence of their resistance to drought conditions. Rhinotyphlops erythraeus (Scortecci 1928), which is known only from the type locality at an altitude of 2200 m, might conceivably be an Eritrean montane endemic, but the two nominally endemic anurans have no evident associations with high elevations and may therefore extend into neighboring territories. The taxonomic status of Phrynobatrachus tellinii Peracca 1904 is very uncertain, but it has been possible to reach more definite conclusions about Rana cornii Scortecci 1929 and R. demarchii Scortecci 1929 following examination of the single surviving syntype of each species, recently rediscovered in London. The evidence from these specimens is that R. cornii is a junior synonym of Ptychadena schubotzi (Sternfeld 1917), while the name demarchii seems to represent a valid species which is most appropriately retained in the genus Rana (sensu DuBois 1992), at least until its relationships can be more satisfactorily determined on the basis of fresh material.},

The new taxon is distinguished from all NE African congeners with comparably restricted webbing by its small size, compact body from, the arrangement of skin folds on the back and details of colour pattern, particularly on the hindlimbs. It remains unknown whether P. wadei is a montane endemic, with a type locality perhaps near the lower limit of its altitudinal range, or a more widespread savanna form that has succeeded in penetrating the foothills of the Ethiopian plateau. Lake Tana and the surrounding mountains are a part of the country much in need of further herpetological study.},
