Ptychadena pujoli
Ptychadena pujoli is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is known from Macenta and Sérédou in Guinea, Sukurela in Sierra Leone, and Mount Nimba (its type locality) in Liberia and Ivory Coast. Description of Ptychadena pujoli is based on old museum specimens, and very little is known about the ecology of this relatively recently (1997) described species.

Description
Males measure 39–45 mm (1.5–1.8 in) and females 46–51 mm (1.8–2.0 in) in snout–vent length; it is the largest species in the Ptychadena stenocephala group. The legs are relatively long. The webbing in feet leaves two phalanges of toe V free (only one in P. tournieri). Median dorsal fold is absent.
Range & habitat
Habitat requirements of this species are poorly known, but it has been found in swamps in savanna and grassland in hilly areas. Presumably it breeds in temporary pools, as other species in the genus. Population trends of Ptychadena pujoli and threats to it are unknown. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as "Data Deficient".
