Species of amphibian From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leptopelis broadleyi (Broadley's forest tree frog) is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae of uncertain status. The Amphibian Species of the World,[1] the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group,[2] and the African Amphibians do not recognize it,[3] but instead consider it synonym with Leptopelis argenteus.[2][1] (ASW expresses some hesitation though.[1]) However, the AmphibiaWeb recognizes it as a valid species.[4]
