Description: Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 14. Part 3. 26th July 1982. Stapled wraps, p89-p108. illustrated colour plates, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. Heleophryne Regis, which has for some time been regarded as the eastern subspecies of the H. purcelli complex in the Cape Folded Mountain Belt, has a mating call distinct from typical H. purcelli and is therefor reinstated to specific rank. It is geographically isolated from other species in the southern Cape Province. An account of the species past taxonomic history is presented. Certain morphological characters hitherto employed to distinguish H. regis from its cogeners do not withstand critical scrutiny.
