Abstract
Chabaudus leberrei (Bain & Philippon, 1969) is redescribed from the pipid a nurans Xenopus muelleri (Peters) and X. laevis laevis (Daudin) (new host re cords) in northern Swaziland, based on light and scanning electron microsco pe studies. The six anterior protuberances characteristic of the genus Chab audus Inglis & Ogden, 1965, are, in C. leberrei, formed by bipartite lamell ae associated with the internal margins of the three lips. Intraspecific va riation in the number and disposition of male caudal papillae and in the de velopment of the cephalic vesicle is documented.
