Sclerophrys regularis (Reuss, 1833)

Specimen.

Angola: Duque de Bragança : BMNH 1864.10.28.1 .

Comments.

Bocage sent this specimen to the British Museum in 1864 along with several other specimens for Günther to examine, most of which were returned in the following year ( AHMB /CE/G76 ). Although the original specimen label is completely faded, the specimen certainly corresponds to No. 19 of Bocage’s first shipment of Angolan material, which was noted as a duplicate specimen to be presented to the British Museum ( NHMA /DF/GüntherColl/16/1/104 ). It was identified by Günther as Bufo pantherinus and later cited by Boulenger (1882 b).
