Aglyptodactylus is a genus of frogs in the family Mantellidae. These frogs, sometimes known as the Madagascar jumping frogs, are endemic to Madagascar.[1][2] Systematic revisions of the groups were published in 1998[3] and 2015.[4] Six species are currently recognized.
Description
Aglyptodactylus are medium-sized frogs as adults, measuring Template:Convert in snout–vent length.[3]
Tadpoles
All Aglyptodactylus species have small, morphologically similar tadpoles that metamorphose at a size of Template:Convert. However, they differ in their habitat, ranging from ephemeral pools (Aglyptodactylus laticeps) to river bed pools (Aglyptodactylus securifer) to stagnant pools (Aglyptodactylus madagascariensis). The tadpoles are detritivorous.[5]
