COMMENTS. — Barej et al. (2011) revealed the existence of three distinct taxa within the formerly known S. superciliaris sensu lato. One of them is represented by S. superciliaris superciliaris, which is distributed from eastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea; a second taxon, S. superciliaris chevalieri, is distributed from Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast and Ghana; the third taxon is located over the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo and was described as a distinct species, Amietophrynus channingi Barej, Schmitz, Menegon, Hillers, Hinkel, Böhme, and Rödel, 2011 (currently S. channingi).
