Comment
Richards and Moore, 1998, Herpetol. J., 8: 41-46, suggested on the basis of molecular evidence, that this species was nested within the Madagascan component of the Rhacophoridae. Glaw, Vences, and Böhme, 1998, Z. Zool. Syst. Evolutionsforsch., 36: 35, suggested that Tomopterna labrosa was most closely related to the African component of the genus, which might be polyphyletic. Bossuyt and Milinkovitch, 2000, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 97: 6585-6590, suggested that this species was more closely related to Madagascan rhacophorids and mantellids than other ranids. Vences and Glaw, 2001, Spixiana, München, 24: 85-92, transferred Laliostoma labrosum to the Laliostominae of the Mantellidae and posited that it was most closely related to Aglyptodactylus.
