The Kassina cassinoides reed frog is large (42-46 mm), grey with six longitudinal stripes on dorsum, the two median ones close together, often more or less confluent. This frog is easy to separate from the sympatric Kassina fusca which is smaller, brown and spotted, and K. senegalensis, smaller and without a double dorsal stripe.

The males call from the ground in large, partly flooded meadows in the dry open savanna. They tend to vocalise from mounds covered with bushes, rather than the flat ground.

This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the The Gambia Reed Frog stamp issued in 1982.
