Spinomantis tavaratra is a species of frogs in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. It is endemic to the humid forests of northwestern Madagascar. [1] [2]
This species was described in the genus Spinomantis by Cramer, Rabibisoa, and Raxworthy in 2008. [3] The species is named tavaratra is a Malagasy word for "the north", referencing the provenance of this species in northern Madagascar. [3]
Adult males measure 30.5–36.0 mm (1.20–1.42 in) in snout–vent length (SVL); females measure 31.6–33.2 mm (1.24–1.31 in). The species is also characterised by simple dermal spines of less than 1 mm (0.039 in) length on the posterior margin of the tarsus. [3]
Its natural habitats are primary forest near streams at elevations of 650–1,300 m (2,130–4,270 ft) above sea level, in Marojejy National Park but also on the Sorata massif. It is an arboreal species that breeds in streams. [1]
Ansonia tiomanica is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is endemic to Tioman Island, off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
Hyloxalus idiomelus is a species of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae. It is endemic to the northern part of the Cordillera Central of northern Peru.
Hyperolius torrentis is a species of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. It is known from the Akwapim-Togo Ranges along the border between Ghana and Togo as well as from northeastern Benin. Common name Ukami reed frog has been coined for this species.
Leptopelis macrotis, sometimes called the big-eyed forest tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Arthroleptidae. It is found in the rainforests of Sierra Leone, southern Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and southern Ghana. Notice that similar common name "big-eyed tree frog" is sometimes used for Leptopelis vermiculatus from Tanzania and for Litoria exophthalmia from New Guinea.

Boophis goudotii is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar where it is widespread on the high plateau of central Madagascar. Records elsewhere are uncertain and many of them represent misidentifications. It is the only Malagasy frog where females are known to be vocal.
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.

Copiula guttata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from around the head of the Gulf of Papua in the Gulf and Chimbu Provinces. The specific name is the Latin adjective guttata that means "spotted" and refers to the dorsal colour pattern of this species. Based on molecular evidence, it was transferred from Austrochaperina to Copiula in 2016.
Copiula rivularis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Papua New Guinea and known from near the Indonesian border east to the Morobe Province; it is expected to occur in the Papua province of Indonesia. The specific name comes from the Latin adjective pertaining to small brooks or streams and refers to the habitat of this species.

It has a discontinuous distribution from southern Guinea through Liberia and Ivory Coast, and from Nigeria to southern Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea to Gabon. However, the species delimitation differs between sources, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has adopted a narrower view where this species only occurs in Cameroon and southward.
