Cardioglossa cyaneospila is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is endemic to the Albertine Rift area in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, southwestern Uganda, Rwanda, and southwestern Burundi.[2][3] It was described in 1950 by Raymond Laurent based on specimens collected in 1949.[3] No new records were published until 2011.[4][5] Recent research has uncovered both old unpublished records and several new records,[3] and the conservation status was changed from "data deficient" to "near threatened" in 2016.[1] Common names Bururi long-fingered frog[3] and Mukuzira long-fingered frog have been coined for this species.[2]
Two males from Bururi measure about 31 mm (1.2 in) in snout–vent length.[6] The species is named for its unusual blueish gray color.[3] It has dark spots in its dorsum, a dark mask surrounding the eye and tympanum, and an infratympanic line typical for the genus Cardioglossa.[6] Males have extremely long third fingers.[7]
Cardioglossa cyaneospila occurs in montane forests[1] at elevations of 1,470–2,300 m (4,820–7,550 ft) above sea level, with one imprecise record from about 1,100–1,300 m (3,600–4,300 ft).[3] Specimens have been found active along trails during the day as well as active on the ground just before dusk, calling among low-lying vegetation some 1 metre above a stream.[3]
Montane forests in the range of this species are generally highly threatened by agricultural encroachment and logging.[1] However, it occurs in several protected areas, including Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, Kahuzi-Biéga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bururi Nature Reserve in Burundi, and Gishwati Forest in Rwanda.[1][3] It is also likely to occur in the Virunga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo.[1]

Cardioglossa cyaneospila Laurent, 1950 è un anfibio anuro, appartenente alla famiglia degli Artroleptidi.[2][3]
Il nome specifico è dovuto all'insolito colore grigio bluastro.[4]
È conosciuta dalle montagne su entrambi i lati del Rift Albertino nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo, in Uganda sudoccidentale, in Ruanda e nel Burundi sudoccidentale; forse la specie è più diffusa.[3]

Cardioglossa cyaneospila − mało znany gatunek płaza żyjący w Afryce Wschodniej.
Żaby z tego gatunku mają długość ok. 3,8 cm i ubarwienie szaroniebieskie z czarnymi plamami. Cechą charakterystyczną samców jest bardzo wydłużony palec na każdej stopie; jego funkcja i znaczenie są nieznane.
Żaby z tego gatunku występują w Burundi, w rezerwacie w prowincji Bururi[3], a prawdopodobnie także w Rwandzie i Demokratycznej Republice Konga[4]. W ostatnim z wymienionych krajów zamieszkiwały wzgórza Kivu; najprawdopodobniej prowadzą górski tryb życia, zwykle przebywając na wysokości 1800 m n.p.m.[2] Być może zamieszkują także Park Narodowy Nyungwe w Rwandzie[2].
Żaby C. cyaneospila zostały zbadane w 1949 roku i opisane, po czym nie obserwowano ich przez następne 62 lata. Istniały obawy, że wieloletnie niepokoje (m.in. wojny domowe w Kongu i wojna domowa w Burundi) oraz wzrost liczby ludności, skutkujący utratą naturalnych siedlisk zwierząt, doprowadziły do wyginięcia tego gatunku. Dopiero w grudniu 2011 roku wyprawa amerykańskich herpetologów odkryła pojedynczy okaz C. cyaneospila, słyszane były także głosy wielu innych osobników, co wskazuje na istnienie tam licznej populacji[3]. Liczebność gatunku ani też jego status nie są znane. Na obszarze jego występowania przez długi czas nie były prowadzone badania naukowe[2].
