Spinomantis aglavei is a species of frog in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae, endemic to Madagascar.
Taxonomy
[edit]This species was originally described in the genus Rhacophorus. It was transferred to the genus Boophis by Guibé in 1947,[2] and subsequently to the genus Mantidactylus by Blommers-Schlösser in 1979.[3] Dubois made this species the type species of the subgenus Spinomantis,[4] which was elevated to genus-level in 2006.[5]
Oskar Boettger described Rhacophorus sikorae in 1913, but this name was considered a junior synonym of Spinomantis aglavei by Barbour and Loveridge in 1946[6] and all subsequent works.
Habitat and ecology
[edit]This species occurs in subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss.
