Update on distribution and status of amphibian populations in Fouta-Djallon/Guinea

This work is an inventory of the amphibians of Fouta-Djallon that has provided two lists of amphibians from this area of Guinea. The first is a list of amphibian species that have been reported in Fouta-Djallon. These are the twenty-seven (27) species that are : Arthroleptis formosus Rödel et al. (2011), Astylosternus occidentalis (Parker, 1931), Leptopelis bufonides (Schiøtz, 1967), Leptopelis spiritusnoctis (Rödel, 2007), Leptopelis viridis (Günther, 1869), Bufo maculatus or Hyperolius nitidulus (Peters, 1875), Hyperolius picturatus (Peters, 1875), Kassina fusca (Schiøtz, 1967), Kassina senegalensis (Duméril and Bibron, 1841), Odontobatrachus fouta (Barej et al. 2015), Petropedetes natator or Odontobatrachus natator (Boulenger, 1905), Odontobatrachus smithi (Barej et al. 2015), Phrynobatrachus accraensis or Phrynobatrachus latifrons (Ahl, 1924), Phrynobatrachus calcaratus (Peters, 1863), Phrynobatrachus natalensis (Smith, 1849), Phrynobatrachus pintoi (Hillers, Zimkus, & Rödel, 2008), Phrynobatrachus tokba (Chabanaud, 1921), Ptychadena bibroni (Hallowell, 1845), Ptychadena longirostris (Peters, 1870), Ptychadena oxyrhynchus (Smith, 1849), Ptychadena pumilio (Boulenger, 1920), Ptychadena tellinii (Peracca, 1904), Ptychadena trinodis (Boettger, 1881), Geotrypetes angeli (Parker, 1936). The second concerns 12 species whose presence in the Fouta region is probable.
