Spinomantis microtis is a species of frog in the Mantellid subfamily Mantellinae, endemic to Madagascar.
This species was described in the genus Rhacophorus by Guibé in 1974. [2] Glaw and Vences transferred it to Boophis in 1994. [3] Andreone and Randriamahazo transferred it to Mantidactylus in 1997, [4] and finally Glaw and Vences then moved it to Spinomantis in 2006. [5]
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Boophis is the only genus in the mantellid frog subfamily Boophinae. They are commonly known as bright-eyed or skeleton frogs. They show typical 'tree frog' traits, and are a good example of convergent evolution with morphologically similar species in the families Hylidae and Rhacophoridae, among others. This genus can only be found on Madagascar and Mayotte Island (Comoros).
Boophis feonnyala is a species of frogs in the family Mantellidae.
Dumeril's Bright-Eyed Frog is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, urban areas, heavily degraded former forests, and seasonally flooded agricultural land.
Laliostoma is a genus of frogs in the family Mantellidae. It is monotypic, being represented by a single species, Laliostoma labrosum, or the Madagascar Bullfrog. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, intermittent freshwater marshes, hot deserts, arable land, pastureland, rural gardens, urban areas, ponds, seasonally flooded agricultural land, and canals and ditches.
Spinomantis aglavei is a species of frog in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae, 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.
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.
Guibemantis pulcher 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 swamps, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Gephyromantis sculpturatus, commonly known as the sculpted Madagascar frog, 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 subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Plethodontohyla notosticta is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The Mascarene grass frog, or Mascarene ridged frog, is a species of frog in the family Ptychadenidae. It is found in sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius.
Gephyromantis is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. At present it contains 45 species divided into six subgenera.
Plethodontohyla alluaudi is a frog belonging to the Madagascar-endemic subfamily Cophylinae of the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to southeastern Madagascar. It is a terrestrial and fossorial frog that occurs in rainforest, including littoral forest. Despite being locally abundant, it is a difficult frog to find.
Rhombophryne serratopalpebrosa is a species of frog of the Madagascar endemic microhylid subfamily Cophylinae. Genetic evidence revealed that it is a species complex, in need of resolution. This work has made significant progress, and five related species have been described from this complex between 2014 and 2017. It is threatened by habitat loss.
