Hymenochirus feae, also known as Gaboon dwarf clawed frog, is a species of frog in the family Pipidae. It is endemic to Gabon[1][2] and is only known with certainty from its type locality on the coast of central Gabon.[1] The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.[3]
Hymenochirus feae presumably is ecologically similar to Hymenochirus boettgeri, an aquatic frog that occurs in still, shaded water in lowland rainforest, and in pools by slow-flowing rivers. Threats to this little-known species are unknown.[1]
