Leptopelis argenteus (Pfeffer, 1893)
Leptopelis argenteus and L. concolor differ in their dorsal markings and distribution, but the two have identical advertisement calls and should possibly be considered subspecies rather than separate species (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
Leptopelis argenteus and Leptopelis concolor differ in their dorsal markings and distribution but have identical advertisement calls (Harper et al., 2010).
A light brown Leptopelis, typically with four broad darker brown stripes on the dorsum, although some individuals lack any markings. The snout is short and rounded and there is usually a dark triangle between the eyes. The tympanum is visible and less than half the diameter of the eye. The legs are short (tibia less than ½ SVL). The pupils are vertical. Males lack pectoral glands. The fingers end in small disks. Toes have a small amount of webbing (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
Males measure approximately 45 mm and females 52 mm in snout-vent length (Harper et al., 2010).
This species is found in coastal savanna woodlands at elevations up to 800 m (Harper et al., 2010).
Males call while perched on trees or grass, often away from water. Eggs are buried in mud and larvae enter water after hatching (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
