“…Recent biodiversity studies in the Kihansi Gorge area have shown that many rare species of plants and animals occur there Zilihona et al 1998;Vollesen 2000;Dinesen et al 2001;Zilihona and Nummelin 2001). Strict endemics are the recently discovered Kihansi Spray Toad Nectophrynoides asperginis (Poynton et al 1998) and two new species of sacrophytic plants including the monotypic genus Kihansia (Cheek 2004).…”

“…Before commissioning of the hydropower plant this habitat was highly influenced by waterfall sprays that provided a unique microclimate and sustained a unique invertebrate fauna (Zilihona et al 1998b;NORPLAN 2001b,f;Zilihona and Nummelin 2001). Many taxa probably disappeared entirely from the site as a consequence of its change, as they were not sampled at all after the commissioning of the hydropower plant.…”

“…The latter area has become famous because of the Kihansi spray toad, Nectophrynoides asperginis Poynton, Howell, Clarke & Lovett, 1999, which occurred in the Kihansi area but is now regarded as extinct in the wild although a reintroduction programme was started in 2013 (IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group 2015). Zilihona et al (1998) described in detail the area where I. Zilihona collected her specimens. Altitudinal range 550-750 m asl (cf.…”
