Comment

Placed in the synonymy of Mantidactylus guttulatus by Guibé, 1978, Bonn. Zool. Monogr., 11: 18. This was subsequently rejected by Blommers-Schlösser, 1979, Beaufortia, 29: 7. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 230-231, provided an account and noted a similar unnamed species from northeastern Madagascar.
