Publikováno v: Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. 99:168-181

The African river frog genus Amietia is found near rivers and other lentic water sources throughout central, eastern, and southern Africa. Because the genus includes multiple morphologically conservative species, taxonomic studies of river frogs have
