[2] Leptopelis parbocagii is a large species that burrows during part of the year, with males growing to a length of 54 mm (2.1 in).

Juvenile frogs are green, and have a white-tipped snout with a narrow black line running along the side.

It is similar in appearance to Leptopelis bocagii, and their ranges overlap in some locations; there are no clear defining characteristics to separate the two species, but it may be that they occupy different ecological niches.

The call of the male, uttered from the ground, a low branch, reeds or bushes, is an atonal "waaab".

[3] Leptopelis parbocagii breed in flooded pasture where the eggs are believed to be laid in a nest near permanent water to which the tadpoles make their way.
