Hyperolius flavoviridis Peters, 1854 Hyperolius tettensis Peters, 1854 Hyperolius cinctiventris Cope, 1862 Rappia platycephalus Pfeffer, 1893 Hyperolius ahli Loveridge, 1936 Hyperolius böckii Koesen, 1968 Hyperolius argus, known under common names Argus reed frog, Argus sedge frog, and Boror reed frog (and many others) is a hyperolid frog found in the eastern coastal plain of Africa from southern Somalia through Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe to KwaZulu-Natal in eastern South Africa.

[1][2] Hyperolius argus is sexually dichromatic: adult males are usually green, and females usually reddish-brown with large white spots.

Under experimental conditions, the time from metamorphosis to the change to a female color pattern took about two months; for a male, the time from metamorphosis to the development of vocal sacs, with spontaneous vocalization and aggression, was about three months.

[3] Hyperolius argus is a common species living near water in low elevation dense, humid savanna and grassland.

Breeding takes place in vegetated shallow pans, vleis and marshes, typically in temporary water.
