It is known from Macenta and Sérédou in Guinea, Sukurela in Sierra Leone, and Mount Nimba (its type locality) in Liberia and Ivory Coast.

[1][3] Description of Ptychadena pujoli is based on old museum specimens, and very little is known about the ecology of this relatively recently (1997) described species.

The webbing in feet leaves two phalanges of toe V free (only one in P. tournieri).

[4] Habitat requirements of this species are poorly known, but it has been found in swamps in savanna and grassland in hilly areas.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as "Data Deficient".
