Afrixalus stuhlmanni (Pfeffer, 1893)

There is considerable taxonomic confusion regarding this species. Afrixalus brachycnemis, A. pygmaeus, and A. sylvaticus are considered synonomies of A. stuhlmanni by Pickersgill (2005; Text from Harper et al., 2010).

This species is found in grassland, savanna, and coastal forests at elevations from 0 – 1200 m (Harper et al., 2010).

The call is a series of clicks (Text from Harper et al., 2010).

A very small frog with short legs and protruding eyes. The dorsum is light with brown sides and darker bands or stripes. Small light dots are present on the brown patches and small brown dots occur on the light patches. Toes and fingers have a small amount of webbing at the base. Toe and finger tips end in distinct disks (Text from Harper et al., 2010).

Male snout-vent lengths range in size from 15 – 21 mm and females from 17 – 27 mm (Harper et al., 2010).

This species is similar to A. uluguruensis, but it lacks dorsal spines (Harper et al., 2010).

Eggs are laid on blades of grass (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
