Mantidactylus madecassus, commonly known as the Andringitra Madagascar frog, is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Mantidactylus madecassus is native to the Andringitra Massif in Madagascar's Central Highlands. It lives in clear, rocky streams between 1,500 and 2,500 meters elevation, in upper montane forest and in high-elevation shrublands and savannas above the tree-line. It is mostly aquatic, and breeds in slower-flowing streams and pools. [1]
It has been recorded at about ten locations in Andringitra. Its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 1,290 km2. It is rare, and its population is decreasing from loss and degradation of habitat. [1]
Mantidactylus is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. The genus is divided into several subgenera that form monophyletic genetic clusters and are ecologically similar.
Mantidactylus albofrenatus is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to eastern Madagascar near An'Ala and Andasibe. Common name eastern Madagascar frog has been proposed for it.
Mantidactylus ambohimitombi is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Mantidactylus betsileanus is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forest, and seasonally flooded agricultural land.
Mantidactylus charlotteae is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar and found in the eastern part of the country in the coastal rainforest belt between Marojejy in the north and possibly as far as Andohahela in the south.
Mantidactylus curtus is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar.
Mantidactylus femoralis is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It is a complex of multiple species. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland, rivers, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Mantidactylus majori is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Mantidactylus melanopleura is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Boehmantis is a genus of frogs in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. It is monotypic, being represented by a single species, Boehmantis microtympanum. The genus is endemic to Madagascar.
Spinomantis peraccae is a species of frog in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. It is endemic to Madagascar and widely distributed in the northern, eastern, and central parts of the island. The specific epithet honours Italian herpetologist Mario Giacinto Peracca. Common name Peracca's Madagascar frog has been coined for it.
Gephyromantis spiniferus is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to southeastern Madagascar between Andringitra and Andohahela. Common name greater spiny Madagascar frog has been coined for it.
Mantidactylus tricinctus is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae.
Mantidactylus zipperi is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitat is pristine or only slightly disturbed rainforest. It is usually found near streams. It is threatened by habitat loss.
