Summary of the most important diagnostic characters of species in the Mantidactylus subgenus Brygoomantis. SVL is given only based on reliably sexed specimens, summarised and rounded to the nearest mm from original measurements in Tables 511. Dorsolateral ridges are always weakly expressed in Brygoomantis, but clearly visible in some species while completely absent in others. Dorsal skin rugosity is estimated from pictures in life and can appear different in preservative: 0, smooth; 1, finely granular; 2, coarsely granular / tubercular. Webbing at toe 5 is given as 0, half or less than half of one phalanx free of web, not counting terminal phalanx (corresponding to numbers 00.5 in webbing formula); 1, about one phalanx free of web (0.751.25); 2, more than one phalanx free of web (1.52). (Yes) in parentheses indicates that the respective character state is found in some individuals of the respective species, and often only weakly expressed, while it is missing in others. Lat.met., state of the lateral metatarsalia, either separated (sep.) by webbing or connected (conn.) by tissue. NM, no measurements available. *For the advertisement calls of M. katae sp. nov. and M. fergusoni sp. nov., homology of call components remains unclear.
