Geographic Range Range Comments: This species is known only from two localities in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Mauda (the type locality) on the upper reaches of the Ubangi River in the extreme north-east of the country; and Kotili, near Buta, in the northern Congo basin. It presumably occurs more widely. Biogeographic Realm(s): Afrotropical Distribution Status: Native Congo, The Democratic Republic of the Population There is little information on this species' population status, but over 400 specimens have been collected at Kotili. Habitat and Ecology This species is presumed to be ecologically similar to Hymenochirus boettgeri, and to therefore be a water-dependent species, generally found in still, shaded water in lowland rainforest, and in pools by slow-flowing rivers. It presumably breeds in still waterbodies.
