Strongylopus merumontanus

Strongylopus merumontanus is a species of frog in the family Pyxicephalidae. It is found on Mount Meru of Meru District of Arusha Regionn in Tanzania, and according to some sources, also in the Nyika Plateau and Shire Highlands of Malawi. The common name Mt. Meru stream frog has been coined for it.

On Mount Meru, it occurs at elevations of 1,000–3,000 m (3,300–9,800 ft) above sea level. It is associated with streams in both upper montane forest and afro-alpine heathland; however, juveniles may venture into the forest, far from streams. It is locally abundant on Mount Meru where its range is protected by the Arusha National Park.
