Hyperolius hutsebauti Laurent 1956

Very similar to H. tuberculatus but phase F with diffuse darker marbling on a light ground colour. Pupil horizontal. Sometimes regarded as a subspecies of H. tuberculatus. Probably closely related to the savanna-living Hyperolius viridiflavus complex.Belongs to a group along with H. tuberculatus and H. nimbae, all of which occur in clearings in the forest belt.This account was taken from "Treefrogs of Africa" by Arne Schiøtz with kind permission from Edition Chimaira (http://www.chimaira.de/) publishers, Frankfurt am Main.

Distributed in R. D. Congo north of Congo River according to Laurent (1976), but possibly sympatric with H. tuberculatus in Ubangi, which would show that they are specifically distinct. Occurs in clearings in the forest belt, as do the other members of its group.
