SUMMARY
Laurent (1972) considered this species to be a synonym of Phrynobatrachus calcaratus, and Perret (in Pickersgill and Howell, 2004) believed that it might be conspecific with P. cornutus. M.-O. Rödel (pers. comm.) reports that although there are warts present on the eyelid, there is no eyelid spine present on the holotype specimen. Therefore, this species is clearly not conspecific with either P. calcaratus nor with P. cornutus.
