Afrixalus upembae is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is known from the lower Katanga Province (=Shaba Province),[1][2][3][4] although its true distribution might be wider;[1] possibly reaching eastern Angola.[5] It belongs to the taxonomically unresolved "Afrixalus quadrivittatus complex",[1][3][4] and it is not even clear that it is a valid species.[1]

Description

The body is relatively elongate.[5] The dorsum is dark brown and has three light stripes that merge on the snout. The brown dorsal bands have diffuse borders.[3][4][5]

Habitat and conservation

Afrixalus upembae lives in moist savanna[1][5] and probably breeds in small pools.[1] The type series consists more of one thousand specimens, suggesting it is an abundant species.[1] However, the type series does not contain any mature males, possibly because juveniles and females might use different daytime hiding places than males.[6]

Major threats to this species are unknown, as is its recent population status. It can be found in Upemba National Park.[1]
