	abstract = {<p>Phrynobatrachus maculiventris Guibe \&amp; Lamotte, 1958 is a valid species. Herein we clarify its taxonomic status, re-describe it, and provide the first description of its tadpole. The tadpoles\&rsquo; specific identity was assessed through DNA barcoding. Phrynobatrachus maculiventris adults differ from all other West African Phrynobatrachus species by a combination of smooth dorsal skin and a peculiar ventral colouration. The analysis of mitochondrial 16S rRNA revealed that R maculiventris differs from other West African species of the genus by at least 4.7\% genetic differences. Their tadpoles are unmistakable due to their aposematic black and yellow colour pattern. Cordioglossa liberiensis Barbour \&amp; Loveridge, 1927 is a synonym of P maculiventris. Phrynobatrachus maculiventris has priority over C. liberiensis as the genus Phrynobatrachus has a species named P. liberiensis Barbour \&amp; Loveridge, 1927, that was described earlier than C. liberiensis.</p>

	abstract = {<p>We report on the results of our assessments of amphibians in the forests of southern Ghana and western Togo. During two surveys in 2005 (Ghana) and 2007 (Ghana and Togo), we recorded at least 45 frog species. These included first country records for Ghana (Kassina cf. cochranae) and Togo (Hyperolius sylvaticus sylvaticus), and several species that had not or only rarely been found after they had been described, e.g. we herein report the rediscovery of Conraua derooi. A high percentage of the recorded frog assemblages consisted of species endemic to the Upper Guinea forest, to Ghana or even a particular region within Ghana (and Togo). The majority of species was closely associated with forest habitats. Nevertheless, in some forest areas the presence of savanna and farmbush species indicated serious habitat degradation. This situation was particularly obvious in the Togo-Volta Highlands. The fact that one third of the encountered amphibians were threatened highlights the importance of the forest ecosystems of southern Ghana and western Togo for the maintenance of the regional biodiversity. However, our results also indicate the urgent need to protect these forests more efficiently.</p>
