Gephyromantis is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. At present it contains 45 species divided into six subgenera.^[1]^[2]

Taxonomy

The genus Gephyromantis was erected by Methuen in 1920 for the species Gephyromantis boulengeri.^[3] Blommers-Schlösser considered this group as a subgenus of Mantidactylus,^[4] but it was re-elevated to genus-level in 2006.^[5]

Species

This genus is divided into six subgenera:^{[citation needed]}
