Summary description from Wikipedia:

Petropedetes

Petropedetes is a genus of frogs in the family Petropedetidae, found in sub-saharan tropical Africa. In 2002, the genus absorbed all three species of the genus Arthroleptides, but they were moved back in 2014. The informally assigned common name for frogs in this genus (and for frogs in certain other genera) is torrent frogs.

The following species are recognised in the genus Petropedetes:

  • Petropedetes cameronensis (Reichenow, 1874)
  • Petropedetes euskircheni (Barej et al., 2010)
  • Petropedetes johnstoni (Boulenger, 1888)
  • Petropedetes juliawurstnerae (Barej et al., 2010)
  • Petropedetes newtonii (Bocage, 1895) – Barej et al. (2010) considers P. darwinii occurring in Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea) a synonym of P. johnstoni.
  • Petropedetes palmipes Boulenger, 1905
  • Petropedetes parkeri (Amiet, 1983)
  • Petropedetes perreti (Amiet, 1973)
