Xenopus boumbaensis, the Mawa clawed frog, is a predominantly to fully aquatic species of frog in the family Pipidae,[3][4][5] known from a few localities in central and southern Cameroon, the northwestern Republic of the Congo and the extreme southwest of the Central African Republic. The species likely occurs more widely throughout the Central African forest region, but identification is difficult[1] as it is a cryptic species, resembling Xenopus fraseri; however, X. boumbaensis is distinguishable by chromosome number (2n=72) and the species' male advertisement call, consisting of a single note.[1][3]
