The decorated running frog (Kassina decorata) is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae.[1][2] It is endemic to Cameroon where it is known from the Bamiléké highlands and from Mount Manengouba. There is uncertainty whether it is a valid species, and it has been also considered synonym of Kassina maculosa.[2]
This little known species has been found around lakes and in marshes in high-elevation grassland, and in flooded grassland and marshes in humid savanna.[1]
