Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox

Afrixalus lindholmi is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to Cameroon and only known from the holotype collected in Bibundi,[1][2] in the coastal area of Mount Cameroon.[3] Its taxonomic validity is in question.[2][3][4]

Etymology

The specific name lindholmi honours Wassili Adolfovitch Lindholm, a Russian zoologist, herpetologist, and malacologist.[5] Accordingly, common name Lindholm's Banana frog has been coined for this species.[2][5]

Taxonomy and description

The holotype is a female measuring Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length. The tympanum is small but distinct. The specimen resembles a juvenile Leptopelis, but is evidently an adult because it has about one hundred eggs in its ovaries.[4] This number is much higher than is typical for Afrixalus species, and Amiet (2009) suggests that the placement of this species in Afrixalus should be considered incertae sedis only.[3]

Some specimens now recognized as Afrixalus lacteus were allocated to Afrixalus lindholmi before the description of A. lacteus in 1976.[3][4]
