Leptopelis marginatus
Species of amphibian / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leptopelis marginatus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to western Angola and only known from the holotype collected from Quissange. The holotype was lost in the fire of the Natural History Museum of Lisbon in 1978.[2][3][4] The validity of this species is in question; it might be a synonym of Leptopelis bocagii or considered a nomen dubium.[2][3] Common name Quissange forest treefrog has been proposed for it.[1][2][3][4][5]
