Afrixalus weidholzi is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. Its common name is Weidholz's banana frog. It is found in Benin, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, possibly Burkina Faso, possibly Central African Republic, possibly Chad, possibly Guinea, possibly Guinea-Bissau, possibly Liberia, possibly Sudan, and possibly Togo.
Its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna, intermittent freshwater marshes, pastureland, rural gardens, ponds, and canals and ditches. It is adversely affected by overgrazing in its habitat, but it is quite common in localized areas, somewhat tolerant of habitat disturbance, and not considered very threatened.[1]
