Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
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]
