RESUME

Au cours de sa révision du genre Ptychadena (Amphibia Ranidae), l'auteur a été confronté avec le matériel éhiopien décrit par Ahl (1924) sous les noms de Rana erlangeri et Rana neumanni et conservé au Zoologisches Museum de Berlin. Ptychadena erlangeri est reconnue et redécrite. La série de syntypes de Ptychadena neumanni, contenant trois espèces distinctes, est discutée. Ptychadena neumanni [sensu stricto], est redéfinie. Ptychadena nana n.sp., est décrite. Une troisième forme en mauvais état de conservation est analysée mais considérée incertae sedis.
