Hyperolius tuberculatus is a species of frog in the Hyperoliidae family. Its common name is rainforest reed frog.[2] It is found in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Nigeria. It is found in forest clearings and heavily degraded former forest as well as in secondary forest in the central African rainforest belt; it does not occur in closed, undisturbed forest. Its breeding habitat is flexible: both still and flowing water, and both temporary and permanent waterbodies. This common and adaptable species is not facing any significant threats.[1]
