Phrynobatrachus congicus is a poorly known species of frog in the family Phrynobatrachidae.[1][2][3][4] It might be endemic to Democratic Republic of the Congo—it is only known from its unspecific type locality "Congo", which presumably corresponds to the modern-day Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1][3] The specific name congicus attests to its origins: the Latin suffix -icus is meaning "to belong to".[3] Common name Congo river frog has been coined for this species.[2][3]
