Burundi screeching frog, Schubotz's squeaker, Kivu dwarf litter frog
Arthroleptis schubotzi, also known as the Burundi screeching frog, Schubotz's squeaker, and Kivu dwarf litter frog, is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the African Rift Valley in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (Kivu), southwestern Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and western Uganda. There are taxonomic problems in delimiting this species.
The specific name honours the German zoologist Johann G. Hermann Schubotz (1881–1955).
A. schubotzi is a very small Arthroleptis species: adult males measure 19–21 mm (0.7–0.8 in) and adult females 17–23 mm (0.7–0.9 in) in snout–vent length. The tympanum is distinct and half the size of the eye. The legs are short. The belly is pigmented. Colouration is cryptic and commonly involves a dark spot on the head. Males have a black throat.
The male advertisement call is a harsh series of double chirps.
