'''''Hyperolius''''' (commonly known as the '''African reed frog''') is a large [[genus]] of [[frog]] in the [[Hyperoliidae]] family. It has 129 species, and new members are still being discovered.
'''''Hyperolius''''' (commonly known as the '''African reed frogs''' or '''reed frogs''') is a large [[genus]] of [[frog]]s in the family [[Hyperoliidae]] from [[Sub-Saharan Africa]].<ref name=Frost/><ref name="Channing and Rödel 2019"/>
It contains these species:

Hyperolius (commonly known as the African reed frogs or reed frogs) is a large genus of frogs in the family Hyperoliidae from Sub-Saharan Africa.[1][2]

Species[edit]

Different sources may delimit species differently, and as new species are still being described, different number of species can be found. As of early 2022, Amphibian Species of the World lists 145 species[1] and AmphibiaWeb 152 species.[3] The following list follows the Amphibian Species of the World:[1]

Nomina inquirenda[edit]

The following species are considered nomina inquirenda (species of doubtful identity):[1]
