What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

discussion · Plazi

Remarks. Channing et al. (2002) suggested that this species should be regarded as a junior synonym of H. nasutus , based on similarity of colour pattern and advertisement call structure, which view was disputed by Rödel & Agyei (2003) and Schiøtz (2006b). Molecular evidence presented in this paper shows that it is not in the H. nasutus species group. The sequences of 13 specimens of Hyperolius lamottei all group together forming a clade outside the nasutus group, with little variation. The intraspecific differences in the sample range from 0.0–0.63% for 16S. The conservation status of this species is Least Concern (IUCN 2011).

diagnosis · Plazi

Diagnosis. It is distinguished on the overall yellow background colour pattern, rounded body shape and advertisement call from the species in the H. nasutus clade. The call ( Fig. 12 ), recorded at Lamto by Arne Schiøtz, is a brief unpulsed whistle that has a duration of 0.08 s , and a dominant frequency of 3.5 kHz. See Table 3 for a summary of call parameters. It is known mostly from high altitude grassland, in Senegal , Sierra Leone , Guinea , Liberia and Ivory Coast (e.g. Rödel & Ernst 2003, Rödel et al . 2004, Adeba et al . 2010). The night-time colour pattern is shown in Figure 12 , and the day-time pattern is illustrated in Schiøtz (1999) and Rödel & Ernst (2003). In our dataset, H. lamottei is outside the H. nasutus group, with a genetic distance for the 16S fragment of 13.2–16.4% to the species inside the group. Tissues were available from near the type locality.
