Description Similar species: Gephyromantis redimitus and G. cornutus also call along brooks in forest, but have single subgular vocal sacs and mostly two black tubercles between the eyes. Tibiotarsal articulation of G. redimitus reaches only beyond the eye. G. leucomaculatus has a smaller inner metatarsal tubercle, lacks the light band along the upper lip, and calling males are not found along brooks. It is especially similar to G. zavona. Distribution and Habitat Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Madagascar, Mayotte
It occurs from near sea level up to 900m (Raxworthy and Vences 2008). Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors Calls: A long regular series of unharmonious notes. Trends and Threats Comments
