What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

description · Plazi

Poynton (1977) recognised Hyperolius sp. from central Tanzania with lateral black markings that show through the skin, which Schiøtz (1982) described as H. v. reesi . Poynton later (1991) recognised Hyperolius reesi as a good species. The dark lateral band is common in other species, as are yellow transverse stripes in some animals. However, Ahl (1931) described Hyperolius goetzei from Iringa in central Tanzania , which Schiøtz (1999) illustrated in colour from Dabaga near Iringa . The back is uniform with mottled sides. This species is known from central Tanzania ( Schiøtz 1999 ). The localities of the type and taxon regarded as a junior synonym are listed in Table 3 . The most common pattern elements in the descriptions of the types included in H. goetzei are dorsal marbling (67%), followed by lateral marbling (33%), small dark spots (33%), or a dark lateral band (33%). The percentages are not additive, as the pattern elements may be shared. The advertisement call (no voucher) is a series of frequency modulated whistles or clicks with a mean length of 0.04 s and an emphasised frequency of 2239 Hz ( Iringa , Tanzania ).
