Ptychadena submascareniensis (common name: Guinea grassland frog) is a species of frog in the Ptychadenidae family. It is found on the Nimba Range of Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Liberia, and on the Loma Mountains of Sierra Leone.[1][2][3] Its natural habitats are savanna and grassland. It breeds in shallow puddles. Threats to it are unknown, but it probably is threatened by mining on Mount Nimba. It occurs in the Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve.[1]
