Arthroleptis adelphus |
Arthroleptis adelphus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae[1][2] found in the western equatorial region of Africa[3] in southern Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (including Bioko), and Gabon, and possibly in southwestern Central African Republic and northwestern Republic of the Congo.[1][2]
Arthroleptis adelphus occurs in lowland forests where it lives in leaf-litter on the forest floor. It avoids marshy areas. It is a common species that occurs in several protected areas. It can be negatively impacted by forest loss for agriculture, wood, and human settlement.[1]
