Morphological and genetic variation ofLeptopelis brevirostrisencompasses the little-known treefrogsLeptopelis crystallinoronfrom Gabon andLeptopelis brevipesfrom Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea

The Central African treefrog Leptopelis brevirostris has a characteristically short and vertically truncated snout, a tooth-like process at the centre of the mandible, and unlike most species of Leptopelis, eats terrestrial gastropods. Two morphologically similar species (L. crystallinoron and L. brevipes) have been described in sympatry with L. brevirostris, each on the basis of a single female specimen and then provisionally synonymised with...
