Gephyromantis is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. At present it contains 42 species divided into six subgenera.[1][2]

Taxonomy

The genus Gephyromantis was erected by Methuen in 1920 for the species Gephyromantis boulengeri.[3] Blommers-Schlösser considered this group as a subgenus of Mantidactylus,[4] but it was re-elevated to genus-level in 2006.[5]

Species

This genus is divided into six subgenera:

  • Gephyromantis corvus (Glaw and Vences, 1994)
  • Gephyromantis pseudoasper (Guibé, 1974)
  • Gephyromantis azzurrae Mercurio and Andreone, 2007
  • Gephyromantis atsingy Crottini, Glaw, Casiraghi, Jenkins, Mercurio, Randrianantoandro, Randrianirina, and Andreone, 2011
  • Gephyromantis asper (Boulenger, 1882)
  • Gephyromantis spinifer (Blommers-Schlösser and Blanc, 1991)
  • Gephyromantis ambohitra (Vences and Glaw, 2001)
  • Gephyromantis tahotra Glaw, Köhler, and Vences, 2011
  • Gephyromantis ceratophrys (Ahl, 1929)
