order Anura

class Amphibia

notes The taxonomy and nomenclature of Mantidactylus grandidieri and M. guttulatus is still in a preliminary status. Our still unpublished studies reveal that the populations of northern Madagascar previously attributed to M. grandidieri and M. guttulatus may belong to two still undescribed species, and that the populations from the eastern coast may belong to a single (or to a group of cryptic) species. The individuals here depicted is a 'M. grandidieri' from the NE forest of Besariaka, where 'M. guttulatus' was found in syntopy.
