Anodonthyla
''Anodonthyla'' is a genus of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar. Molecular data suggest that it is the sister taxon to all other species in the subfamily Cophylinae Cophylinae is a subfamily of microhylid frogs endemic to Madagascar. It has over 100 species in eight genera. Members of this subfamily range from minute ( 100 mm adult body size), and they are highly ecologically diverse. DNA barcode res .... Species The genus contains twelve recognized species: Description One of the most obvious morphological synapomorphies of the genus is the presence, in males only, of a large prepollex that runs along the first finger and generally is closely connected to the first finger over most of its length. Correlated to this character, in males and females, the first finger is very short compared to other cophylines.

Amphibians Of Madagascar
The population of amphibians of Madagascar is made up exclusively of frogs. There are 311 named species of frogs on Madagascar, but several hundred have been identified using DNA barcoding and remain to be formally described. Native described species belong to four different families: Hyperoliidae (11 species), Mantellidae (212 species), Microhylidae (86 species) and Ranidae (1 species). Two further species are introduced: the ranid frog ''Hoplobatrachus tigrinus'' and the toad ''Duttaphrynus melanostictus''. Almost all native species are endemic, with the exception of ''Ptychadena mascareniensis''. 85 species are threatened with extinction, nine of which are considered by the IUCN as critically endangered. Their numbers are largely affected by major alterations of habitat due to deforestation and the expansion of paddy fields and villages, and to a lesser extent, by illegal international trade.

Anodonthyla Jeanbai
''Anodonthyla jeanbai'' is an arboreal species of frogs in the family Microhylidae. It is highly polychromatic, and has an extremely isolated phylogenetic position, showing no clear relationships to any other members of the genus ''Anodonthyla''. It is found only in a small higher-elevation area in Madagascar. Description ''A. jeanbai'' can be distinguished from all other ''Anodonthyla'' species in numerous ways, including the presence of a yellowish colouration located on the ventral surfaces, which in some specimens, completely extends over the venter. Another distinction is the tympanum, which is often not as clearly visible as with other species. This species has a dorsum and posterior part of head that is nearly uniformly brown in colour. The anterior head is a somewhat lighter shade of brown. There is a narrow middorsal line running from the tip of the snout to the cloaca. The inguinal region contains two black spots. The tympanic region is light in colour, and has a dark ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
