Hyperolius benguellensis (common name: Benguella long reed frog, Benguella reed frog, Bocage's sharp-nosed reed frog) is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is found in southern Angola and northern Botswana and Namibia,[2][3] but other sources cite a wider and more eastern distribution.[1] It is similar to Hyperolius nasutus and have been considered a synonym of that species.[2] Hyperolius benguellensis is not considered threatened.[1]
