Abstract
A new species of moss frog, genus Arthroleptella, is described from th e Kleinrivier mountains of the south-western Cape. It is morphological ly indistinguishable from the other three species in the area. The fou r Cape species are allopatric, each has a unique male advertisement ca ll, and preliminary molecular data shows consistent differences.
