based on the following rationale: (i) it belongs to the same general mitochondrial lineage as the nominal subspecies in the 16S tree, and the two are also closely related in the phylogenomic tree; (ii) morphologically, the two lineages are similar to each other, except for a somewhat more distinct dorsal pattern in

; (iii) based on two samples in our mitochondrial tree, RJS 1877 and ACZC 4254, a very similar mitochondrial haplotype to the one from Ambohitantely also occurs at Ankaratra, suggesting the possibility of past or ongoing gene flow between localities or mitochondrial introgression;and (iv)based on sequences of specimens APR 10803, APR 10638, and APR 10663, the lineage also occurs in Angavokely and Ankazomivady, thus rather close to Ankaratra, suggesting the two lineages may be parapatric and could hypothetically have a hybrid zone. Since the status of the Ambohitantely population as a fully isolated evolutionary lineage is thus not fully verifiable with the data at hand, we consider the status as a subspecies of

A mitochondrial haplotype corresponding to this subspecies has also been detected at Ankaratra, but due to the limited information on the sampling event and the absence of specimens (only tissue sampels were collected) this record (which might also represent mitochondrial introgression) requires confirmation.
