Detailed advertisement call descriptions are provided for 12 species of hyperoliid frogs (Afrixalus dorsalis, A. osorioi, A. paradorsalis, A. quadrivittatus, Hyperolius cystocandicans, H. glandicolor H. langi, H. montanus, H. phantasticus, H. puncticulatus, Leptopelis christyi, Phlyctimantis cf. boulengeri) from different localities in East Africa and Gabon. The call of each species is figured in a spectrogram and waveform. East African populations of frogs of the Afrixalus fulvovittatus complex are considered to represent A. quadrivittatus (formerly a junior synonym of A. fulvovittatus). Its advertisement call differs significantly from West African populations reported as A. vittiger. The allocation of green and golden colour morphs from Mount Kenya to the species H. cystocandicans is confirmed by bioacoustics. The presence of H. kuligae in East Africa (Uganda) is doubted. Based on morphological comparisons with type specimens, calls of Phlyctimantis recorded in Gabon are tentatively referred to R boulengeri. The species is supposed to occur in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Republic of Congo according to advertisement call comparisons. West African populations of Phlyctimantis may represent an undescribed species.

We provide the fi rst complete list of the present and lost amphibian and reptile type specimens of the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt and the Museum Wiesbaden Naturhistorische Landessammlung. The Darmstadt collection currently houses primary types of 5 taxa (holotypes) and secondary types of additional 15 taxa (paratypes). The Wiesbaden collection includes primary types of 13 taxa (8 represented by holotypes, 4 by syntypes and 1 by lectotype). Furthermore, the primary types of 6 taxa formerly housed at the Museum Wiesbaden are considered lost. In several cases, we comment on the current status of the taxa present in the collections. Bufo spinulosus var. arapensis Andersson, 1908 was obviously overlooked and neglected in the literature. It is here considered a junior synonym of Chaunus spinulosus (Wiegmann, 1834). The largest specimen of the type series is designated as lectotype (MWNH 153/1). The current status of Hylambates rufus var. aubryioides Andersson, 1908, as a junior synonym of Leptopelis modestus (Werner, 1898) is rejected.

Our recent surveys of the herpetological diversity of the West African Togo Hills documented a total of 65 reptile and amphibian species, making Kyabobo National Park one of the most diverse sites surveyed in Ghana. We provide accounts for all species recorded along with photographs to aid in identification. We recorded 26 amphibians, including six new records for Kyabobo N. P., one of which is a record for the Togo Hills. Our collection of reptile species (22 lizards, 16 snakes, and one crocodile) also provides new records and range extensions for Kyabobo N. P., such as the first observation of the dwarf crocodile, Osteolaemus tetraspis. Amphibian species still lacking from our surveys in the Togo Hills include several species that are adapted to fast running water or large closed forests, like the Togo toad, Bufo togoensis and the slippery frog, Conraua derooi. Appropriate habitat for such species still remains in Kyabobo, highlighting the need for additional survey work. We draw attention to the importance of conserving forest stream habitats, which will in turn help ensure the persistence of forest-restricted species. We also highlight those species that may prove most useful for evolutionary studies of West African rain forest biogeography.
