Strongylopus kilimanjaro

(Strongylopus kilimanjaro)

Description

Strongylopus kilimanjaro is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is endemic to Tanzania and only known from a narrow alpine range on the middle slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, within the East African montane moorlands ecoregion. It is known only from three specimens collected in 1936. The lack of recent records is probably a reflection of very limited survey effort in the area since then.
