Mantidactylus is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. The genus is divided into several subgenera that form monophyletic genetic clusters and are ecologically similar.
Taxonomy[]
Mantidactylus was erected by Boulenger in 1895 with the type species Rana guttulata.[1][2] For a long time the genus contained a wide variety of mostly terrestrial Madagascan frogs, that were divided into species groups[3] and/or subgenera. Several of these groups were subsequently erected to genus level: Blommersia, Boehmantis, Gephyromantis, Guibemantis, Spinomantis and Wakea.[4] Today, six subgenera remain within the genus Mantidactylus:
- Mantidactylus Boulenger, 1895
- Laurent, 1943
- Dubois, 1992
- Glaw & Vences, 1994
- Glaw & Vences, 1994
- Glaw & Vences, 2006
