	abstract = {<p>This review recognises 63 amphibians species in Ethiopia, a total that is sure to increase as many still remote regions come to be more adequately surveyed. It incorporates the following taxonomic changes: Bufo chappuisi Roux 1936 is considered a synonym of B. lughensis Loveridge 1932, Ptychadena largeni Perret 1994 a synonym of P. neumanni (Ahl 1924) and Rana schubotzi Sternfeld 1917 a synonym of Ptychadena tellinii (Peracca 1904). The ecological profile and zoogeographical affinities of every species is analysed and its recorded distribution within Ethiopia is mapped. More than half of these taxa are savanna forms, found in lowland areas around the margins of the central plateau and often widespread in other parts of Africa. In contrast, 25 species (40\% of the total) are at present considered endemic; seven of the eight families include endemic representatives, amongst which are six endemic genera: Sylvacaecilia Wake 1987, Altiphrynoides Dubois 1987, Spinophrynoides Dubois 1987. Ericabatrachus Largen 1991, Balebreviceps Largen and Drewers 1989 and Paracassina Peracca 1907. Three species appear to be confined to lowland forrest in southwestern Ethiopia, but the majority of endemics are most clearly associated with montane forest, grassland or moorland in the altitudinal range 1800-4000 m. Widespread environmental degradation by an ever-increasing human population is a severe problem in Ethiopia and the threat to montane and forest endemics, both known and yet to be discovered, gives particular cause for concern. National Parks, established to conserve selected environments for the benefit of entire communities, provide the best prospects for the protection of amphibian species in the immediate future. The Bale Mountains National Park alone provides a refuge for at least 17 amphibian taxa, including 48\% of the endemic species and five of the six endemic genera.</p>

	abstract = {<p>Patterns of species divergence amongst 13 species of Phrynobatrachus from Cameroon were analysed using phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA sequence data from 12S rRNA, valine-tRNA, and 16S rRNA. A clade endemic to the mountains of western Cameroon and eastern Nigeria, part of the geologic rift zone termed the Cameroon Volcanic Line, supports the view that montane regions have acted as centres of speciation. Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea), located 32 km off the coast of Cameroon, is populated by three different lowland Phrynobatrachus species from the mainland. Two of these species, Phrynobatrachus auritus and Phrynobatrachus cornutus reach submontane elevations on Bioko Island (up to 1200-1300 m) but are present only at lowland elevations on mainland Cameroon. A new miniature species of puddle frog of the genus Phrynobatrachus restricted to Mt Oku in the Republic of Cameroon is diagnosed on the basis of morphological characters and molecular data. Unlike all other miniature Phrynobatrachus (snout-vent length \&lt; 20 mm), males of this species have unique ventral coloration characterized by a black throat, dark brown to black pectoral and abdominal regions, and a light or white area on the proximal hind limbs. Minute spines cover the venter in males, often appearing as white asperities. The description of this new species supports the significance of this montane ecoregion as a biodiversity hotspot for anurans.
