notes This is an individual of a population for longtime unofficially classified as 'desert mantella'. Anyhow, morpho-chromatic characters and - most recently - genetical aspects, push us to consider it as belonging to the same clade, or even species, of Mantella expectata. from this it differs for not having a clearly blu shade on the legs, but other features, such as the labial white stripe, size and call, make it approach to this species.photo category: Animal - Amphibian
