Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept.

See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Mantidactylus corvus) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 429, who noted a personal communication from Miguel Vences that this taxon probably represents two species.
