Comment

Suggested by Glaw and Vences, 2006, Organisms Divers. Evol., 6: 236-253, and Kurabayashi, Sumida, Yonekawa, Glaw, Vences, and Hasegawa, 2008, Mol. Biol. Evol., 25: 874-891, to be the sister taxon of Blommersia. This was confirmed by Wollenberg, Vieites, Glaw, and Vences, 2011, BMC Evol. Biol., 11 (217) : 1-15, and Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583. Lehtinen, Nussbaum, Richards, Cannatella, and Vences, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 44: 1121-1129, reported on molecular phylogenetics within Pandanusicola. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 200-205, provided accounts of the species.
