Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Body is too translucent green for the H. viridiflavus-marmoratus type species, and suggests a pusillus-acutirostris-benguellensis-type species. The sharply rounded snout, colouration and distribution suggest H. rwandae.
