Diagnosis. The advertisement call ( Fig. 11 ) consists of a short buzz with five pulses, with a duration of 0.06 s . This distinguishes it from the species with a single unpulsed note, and those with both an initial note and a series of slow pulses: H. adspersus , H. benguellensis , H. dartevellei , H. friedemanni , H. howelli , H. igbettensis , H. inyangae , H. lupiroensis sp. nov . , H. poweri , H. rwandae sp. nov . and H. viridis . It can be distinguished from the other species with a buzz call by the number of pulses: 25 pulses in H. acuticeps , and eight pulses in H. nasutus . See Table 3 for a summary of call parameters. The snout is bluntly round in profile, distinguishing it from those with truncated, shark-like or sharply rounded snouts: H. acuticeps , H. benguellensis , H. dartevellei , H. friedemanni , H. howelli , H. inyangae , H. lupiroensis sp. nov . , H. nasutus and H. rwandae sp. nov . The toes are webbed with one phalanx of the third and fourth toes free, and the fifth toe webbed to the disc. This pattern distinguishes it from those species that do not have the fifth toe webbed to the disc: H. acuticeps , H. benguellensis , H. dartevellei , H. howelli , H. igbettensis , H. inyangae , H. nasutus , H. poweri , and H. viridis . It differs from H. friedemanni which has all the toes webbed to the disc, and from H. rwandae sp. nov . which has two phalanges of the third toe free. The webbing is similar to that of H. lupiroensis sp. nov . Standard measurements of the holotype are compared with the other species in Appendix 2.
