Cryptothylax minutus Laurent 1976

A small (Males 29–35 mm, females 29–34 mm) Cryptothylax from central R. D. Congo. According to Laurent’s description the smaller size seems to be the only substantial difference from C. gresshoffi, with the possible exception of the green colour of the iris. Recorded as being sympatric with C. gresshoffi. The distinction between these species seems doubtful.This account was taken from "Treefrogs of Africa" by Arne Schiøtz with kind permission from Edition Chimaira (http://www.chimaira.de/) publishers, Frankfurt am Main.

Known from two nearby localities in central R. D. Congo, where it is found on open sites.
