Description

provided by AmphibiaWeb articles
A small flat green Hyperolius (males 16-20 mm) from the eastern lowlands. Dorsum translucent green, sometimes with dark dots. A fine dark canthal and dorsolateral line is often present. Throat of males white, of females green. Eye golden. Pupil horizontal. Populations vary somewhat, thus the specimens found in the dry savanna in Kenya are larger and with a conspicuous hourglass pattern. Similar specimens are found in drier parts of eastern Zimbabwe. H. pusillus can closely resemble males of the larger H. argus; for a comparison with H. viridis see account for that species.The young tadpoles are green, the older ones greenish brown with light ventrum and a black tail tip. Size 35 mm (10+25). Tooth formula 1/3.This account was taken from "Treefrogs of Africa" by Arne Schiøtz with kind permission from Edition Chimaira (http://www.chimaira.de/) publishers, Frankfurt am Main.

Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors

provided by AmphibiaWeb articles
Hyperolius pusillus calls from floating vegetation. The voice is a fast series of high-pitched screams with an indistinct frequency-intensity maximum at 2500-3000 cps. A strange feature that has been noted from Kenya and South Africa is that when expanded the gular sac produces two supplementary expansions.The eggs, light green in colour, are placed in batches of 20-120 in a single layer between leaves of floating vegetation.

Hyperolius pusillus

provided by wikipedia EN

Hyperolius pusillus (common names: waterlily reed frog and various variants thereof, dwarf reed frog) is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found throughout diverse environments in eastern and southern Africa.[2] It is a very common frog. Its natural habitats are open savanna, bush land and grassland. Breeding takes place in shallow pans, vleis, open swamps, and dams with floating vegetation such as water lilies.[1]

Hyperolius pusillus can resemble members of the larger Hyperolius argus species, which is also native to eastern and southern Africa.[3]

Distribution and populations

Hyperolius pusillus is found in both eastern and southern Africa. Key populations are found in southern Kenya, Malawi, and Zimbabwe. There are also populations in northern Malawi and Botswana. The species may also extend into the far west of Kenya and portions of Uganda.[1]

Hyperolius pusillus is also found in Eswatini, Mozambique, Somalia, South Africa, and Tanzania.[1] Different populations display different coloration.[3]

Coloration

The different populations vary in color. They are generally green, with darker specks covering their bodies, and different populations display patterns such as an hourglass shape (found in Kenya). Sexual dimorphism is found in the color of the throat, which is in males white and in females green. Eyes of both the male and female are gold in color.[3]

Reproduction

Hyperolius pusillus males call from floating vegetation which is in contrast to Hyperolius viridis which calls from wet grassland.[1] The female lays batches of between 20 and 120 eggs at a time amongst floating plants.[3] Eggs of H. pusillus are light green. Tadpoles are initially green, but become green-brown with black tails as they age.[3]

Status

Hyperolius pusillus has a wide range and is a common and sometimes abundant species. The population trend is unknown but this frog faces no particular threats and seems an adaptable species, so the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as being of "least concern".[1]
