Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Hyperolius pseudargus, also known as the Mette's reed frog,[1][2] is a species of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae.[3][1][4][2] It is endemic to south-central Tanzania and occurs in the Udzungwa Mountains and south to Njombe in the Southern Highlands.[3][1] Male Hyperolius pseudargus greatly resemble Hyperolius argus but have less webbing between the toes and the male advertisement call is different.[5] The vernacular name refers to Mette Westergaard, Danish biologist who collected the holotype and is the junior describer of this species.[6]
Description
Males measure Шаблон:Convert in snout–vent length. The body and head are broad and flat. The eyes are not very protruding. Webbing between the toes is reduced.[5] The dorsum is green with narrow yellow canthal and dorsolateral stripes, although these may sometimes be indistinct; small yellow dots are usually present. The upper eyelid is yellow or slightly reddish. The ventrum is yellow. The toes and fingers are yellow-green.[2] Males have a large vocal sac that is bluish when calling, yellow green otherwise.[5]
The male advertisement call is a fast series of very loud, harsh clicks, emitted in a somewhat accelerating rhythm.[4][2]
Habitat and conservation
Hyperolius pseudargus inhabits open farmland, heavily degraded former forests (farm bush), and montane grasslands at elevations of Шаблон:Convert above sea level. Breeding takes place in small pools and males call from sedges near water and from floating vegetation.[3]
This species is common. Although its range is small, it is adaptable and is not facing significant threats. It might occur in the Udzungwa Mountains National Park.[3]
