Arthroleptis loveridgei is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae.[1][2][3] It is endemic to Democratic Republic of the Congo and only known from its type locality, "Arebi (Uelé)", Ituri Province, in the northeastern part of the country.[1][2] The specific name loveridgei honours Arthur Loveridge, an American herpetologist.[4] Common names Loveridge's screeching frog[2][4][3] and Loveridge's squeaking frog have been coined for it.[5]
Taxonomy
Arthroleptis loveridgei was described in 1933 by Gaston-François de Witte based on two specimens[2] collected in 1925.[6] In 1954, Raymond Laurent placed it in the genus Schoutedenella de Witte, 1921, but the genus has not been recognized in later research.[7] The identity of this taxon needs clarification.[1]
Habitat and conservation
Ecology and conservation status of this species are unknown, and the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group considers it as "data deficient".[1]
