Mantidactylus
''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''. For a long time the genus contained a wide variety of mostly terrestrial Madagascan frogs, that were divided into species groups and/or subgenera. Several of these groups were subsequently erected to genus level: '' Blommersia'', '' Boehmantis'', '' Gephyromantis'', ''Guibemantis'', '' Spinomantis'' and '' Wakea''. Today, six subgenera remain within the genus ''Mantidactylus'': *''Mantidactylus'' Boulenger, 1895 *'' Hylobatrachus'' Laurent, 1943 *'' Brygoomantis'' Dubois, 1992 *'' Ochthomantis'' Glaw & Vences, 1994 *'' Chonomantis'' Glaw & Vences, 1994 *'' Maitsomantis'' Glaw & Vences, 2006 Species New species of ''Mantidactylus'' are describe ...

Mantidactylus Radaka
''Mantidactylus radaka'' is a species of frog in the Family (biology), family Mantellidae. It is Endemism, endemic to Madagascar. It was described in 2020 by an international team of scientists, who differentiated it from ''Mantidactylus guttulatus, M. guttulatus'' and Mantidactylus grandidieri, ''M. grandidieri'' via molecular data from wild and museum specimens. The Specific name (zoology), specific name is based on the Malagasy language, Malagasy word for "large frog" (as opposed to ''sahona'', "small frog"), which is often used as a common name for the species. It is frequently hunted and eaten by local people. Its natural habitats are calm, shallow streams in rainforests. Its conservation status has not yet been evaluated by the IUCN.

Mantellinae
Mantellinae is a subfamily of frogs in the family Mantellidae. These frogs are native to Madagascar and Mayotte. The species vary in size from under 25 mm (e.g. some species of '' Blommersia'') to over 100 mm (e.g. '' Mantidactylus guttulatus''). The subfamily is most famous for the genus '' Mantella'', which contains species that superficially resemble poison dart frogs of the tropical Americas, and have converged on similar aposematic colouration and toxins. As of 2 May 2016, there are 128 described species in this subfamily, but several more are described each year. Systematics Historically only two genera were recognized within the Mantellinae: '' Mantella'' and '' Mantidactylus''. Several subgenera were recognized within the genus ''Mantidactylus''. These were elevated to genus level in 2006 and are now universally accepted. These are '' Blommersia'', '' Boehmantis'', '' Gephyromantis'', '' Guibemantis'', '' Spinomantis'', and '' Wakea''.

Boehmantis
''Boehmantis'' is a genus of frogs in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. It is monotypic, being represented by a single species, ''Boehmantis microtympanum''. The genus is endemic to Madagascar. Taxonomy ''Boehmantis microtympanum'' was originally described in the genus ''Mantidactylus'' by Fernand Angel. The species was transferred to its own genus, ''Boehmantis'', by Frank Glaw and Miguel Vences. This was justified using molecular data as well as by the lack of femoral glands, which are present in all other species in the subfamily Mantellinae. Etymology The generic name honours , German herpetologist. Description ''Boehmantis microtympanum'' are relatively large frogs, with adults measuring in snout–vent length. The tympanum is rather indistinct and small. The finger and toe tips bear well-developed discs; the fingers have no webbing whereas the toes are fully webbed. Dorsal skin is smooth. The dorsal colouration varies from olive greenish to—especially in subadultsâ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

François Mocquard
François Mocquard (27 October 1834 – 19 March 1917) was a French herpetologist born in Leffond, Haute-Saône. In 1860 he was named ''préparateur du physique'' after receiving his Bachelor of Science degree at the Faculty of Besançon. Subsequently, he earned degrees in physical sciences (1862), mathematical sciences (1865) and medicine (1873). Despite being middle-aged, he made a career change, and began studying natural sciences in the laboratory of Alphonse Milne-Edwards (1835-1900) at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. In 1884 he earned his doctorate of sciences with a thesis on the structure of the stomach in crustaceans, afterwards working as an assistant in the ichthyology and herpetology department at the museum. During his career he described numerous herpetological taxa, most notably species from Madagascar, Tonkin, Borneo, Mexico and Central America. In addition, he has several species named after him, including reptiles, '' Alluaudina mocquardi'', ' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
