Werneria submontana is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae.[2] It is endemic to western Cameroon and is known from Mount Kupe and the Bakossi Mountains. It is found at elevations of 800 to 1,200 m (2,600 to 3,900 ft) above sea level, but there are tentative records from lower elevations, perhaps down to 300 m (980 ft).[1] It has been found in association with rivers (under rocks in a partly dried-up river basin, and on stony ground among low vegetation in the spray zone of a small, artificial waterfall). The species can be locally abundant but is threatened by habitat loss. Parts of its range receive protection from the Bakossi Forest Reserve.[1]
