Hyperolius castaneus
Species of amphibian
Hyperolius castaneus is a species of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in the highlands of western Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda as well as eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1][2][3] Common names of this species include Ahl's reed frog, brown reed frog, and montane reed frog.[1][2] The status of the putative subspecies Hyperolius castaneus rhodogaster is unclear, and it may actually be a distinct species. Also Hyperolius constellatus, now a distinct species, was formerly recognized as a subspecies of H. castaneus.[2][3]
