SUMMARY
Hyperolius glandicolor is part of the Hyperolius viridiflavus superspecies which consists of around 45 ‘subspecies’ that all have similar calls, morphology and natural history, but differ in their dorsal patterns and tend not to co-occur. The taxonomy of the Hyperolius viridiflavus complex is still not well resolved. Harper et al. (2010) use the name H. glandicolor to refer to the form endemic to the Taita Hills and surrounding area.
