Leptodactylodon ovatus is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in western Cameroon and eastern Nigeria.[2] Two subspecies are distinguished:[2] Leptodactylodon ovatus ovatus in the westernmost part of the range and Leptodactylodon ovatus orientalis in the east, probably separated by Mount Kupe.[1]
Its natural habitats are lowland forests with continuous canopy. Breeding takes place in streams and tiny watercourses with slow flow in the forest; the males call from holes and cracks in rocks. This common species is probably threatened by habitat loss.[1]
