Comment

Prior to the revision of Glaw and Vences, 2006, Organisms Divers. Evol., 6: 236–253, in the Mantidactylus (Gephyromantis) redimitus group of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 312. Blommers-Schlösser and Blanc, 1991, Faune de Madagascar, 75: 204, noted that the paratypes of Gephyromantis eiselti Guibé are referable to Mantidactylus blommersae. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 212–213, provided an account.
