Afrixalus sylvaticus is a species of frog in the Hyperoliidae family. Its common name is forest banana frog.[1]
It is found in Kenya and Tanzania. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, intermittent freshwater marshes, plantations, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
This is considered by some authors to be a subspecies of Afrixalus stuhlmanni.[2]
