Arthroleptis loveridgei is a species of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae. [1] [2] [3] It is endemic to Democratic Republic of the Congo and only known from its type locality, "Arebi (Uelé)", Ituri Province, in the northeastern part of the country. [1] [2] The specific name loveridgei honours Arthur Loveridge, an American herpetologist. [4] Common names Loveridge's screeching frog [2] [4] [3] and Loveridge's squeaking frog have been coined for it. [5]
Arthroleptis loveridgei was described in 1933 by Gaston-François de Witte based on two specimens [2] collected in 1925. [6] In 1954, Raymond Laurent placed it in the genus Schoutedenella de Witte, 1921, but the genus has not been recognized in later research. [7] The identity of this taxon needs clarification. [1]
Ecology and conservation status of this species are unknown, and the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group considers it as " data deficient". [1]
