Comment

Suggested by Glaw and Vences, 2006, Organisms Divers. Evol., 6: 236–253, and Kurabayashi, Sumida, Yonekawa, Glaw, Vences, and Hasegawa, 2008, Mol. Biol. Evol., 25: 874–891, to be the sister taxon of Blommersia. This was confirmed by Wollenberg, Vieites, Glaw, and Vences, 2011, BMC Evol. Biol., 11 (217) : 1–15, and Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543–583. Vejarano, Thomas, and Vences, 2006, Zootaxa, 1329: 39–57, discussed comparative larval morphology of the species. Lehtinen, Nussbaum, Richards, Cannatella, and Vences, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 44: 1121–1129, reported on molecular phylogenetics within Pandanusicola. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 200–205, provided accounts of the species. Koppetsch, Pabijan, Hutter, Köhler, Gehring, Rakotoarison, Ratsoavina, Scherz, Vieites, Glaw, and Vences, 2023, Vert. Zool., Senckenberg, 73: 397–432, reported on the molecular phylogenetics of the Guibemantis liber complex.
