A new squeaker frog (Arthroleptidae: Arthroleptis) from the mountains of Cameroon and Nigeria

Original language description

A new species of squeaker frog (Arthroleptis palava) is described from the northern mountains of the Cameroon Volcanic Line, a species-rich region within the West African biodiversity hotspot. The new species is currently known from the Acha-Tugi Ridge that traverses the Cameroon?Nigeria border. Although in some ways resembling A. poecilonotus, a molecular phylogeny based on mitochondrial gene sequence data demonstrates that the new species is not closely related to A. poecilonotus and, instead, forms aclade with A. krokosua, A. perreti, and A. variabilis. The description of this new species further highlights these mountains as an important region of endemism in Africa.
