| Popis: | Arthroleptis carquejai Ferreira, 1906 Material (one specimen): One adult female specimen (MHNCUP/ ANF 188, formerly UP-MHNFCP-018586; Fig. S19), collected from Cambondo [-9.16349º, 14.66432º, 394 m a.s.l.] Kwanza Norte Province, date unknown. Comments: Arthroleptis carquejai is an Angolan endemic species, found in the northern part of the country (Marques et al. 2018). The specific epithet carquejai was in honor of Bento Carqueja (1860–1935), a businessman, writer, and professor at APP. The single specimen collected by Newton was used by Ferreira (1906) as the holotype for the species. Ceríaco et al. (2014b) recognized A. carquejai as a valid species belonging to the same group of species as Arthroleptis variabilis Matschie, 1893. The authors also analyzed specimens from the Zoologisches Museum Hamburg collected from ““Roca Nova” (Roça Novo Mundo)”, approximately 135 km from the type locality, and determined them to also be A. carquejai. The species was recently collected in Serra do Pingano, Uíge Province, by Ceríaco et al. (Fig. 4) and Ernst et al. (2020). Marques et al. (2018) suggested that A. carquejai most likely also occurs in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and possibly Gabon.
