Range description 2

This species is said by Pickersgill (2007) to range widely in western and eastern Africa, south to South Africa. However, here we restrict its range to the confirmed localities given by Pickersgill (2007), in South Africa (KwaZulu-Natal), Malawi, Tanzania and Uganda. It must presumably also occur in other countries such as Mozambique and Swaziland, and this is included in the species' distribution on the map. Clarification of the range of this species will require resolution of the taxonomic issues in the Hyperolius nasutus complex.
