Leptopelis broadleyi (Broadley’s forest tree frog) is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae of uncertain status. The Amphibian Species of the World, the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group, and the African Amphibians do not recognize it, but instead consider it synonym with Leptopelis argenteus. (ASW expresses some hesitation though.) However, the AmphibiaWeb recognizes it as a valid species.
