Comparison of two morphological characters (body width and body height) against body length in the tadpole species investigated; Astylosternus spp. and Scotobleps gabonicus had very similar body shapes; Nyctibates corrugatus tadpoles (olive) are much more elongated; the single tadpole of A. laticephalus (dark blue dot) had a very flattened body, being proportionally the widest.
