Comment
Most similar to Mantidactylus peraccae according to the original publication. Glaw and Vences, 2007, Field Guide Amph. Rept. Madagascar, Ed. 3: 208-209, provided an account. See account by Cramer, Rabibisoa, and Raxworthy, 2008, Am. Mus. Novit., 3618: 4–7. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status (as Mantidactylus brunae) in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 429, who noted that further work is needed to elucidate the status of this species with respect to Spinomantis peraccae and Spinomantis elegans.
