Hyperolius houyi is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae.[1][2][3][4] It is only known from its type locality, "Ussagara, Neu Kamerum", which some sources consider untraceable but place in the modern-day Chad,[1][3] while others associate it with Ussagara in Tanzania instead.[2] Common name Ussagara reed frog has been coined for this species.[2][3][4]
Etymology
The specific name houyi honours Dr Reinhard Houy who collected in Tanzania in 1911–1912.[5]
Taxonomy
The taxonomic status of Hyperolius houyi is unclear.[1] The holotype is lost. It is probably a synonym of Hyperolius viridiflavus (superspecies).[2][3]
Habitat and conservation
Hyperolius houyi probably breeds in bodies of water. Threats to this poorly known species are unknown.[1]
