) from Ambinanitelo. As typical for all tadpoles of the group, the larvae belong to the “ suctorial ” ecomorphological guild. They have a large oral disk used to adhere to stones in fast-flowing water, a labial tooth row formula of 7 (5-7) / 3, and large numbers of oral papillae (258 marginal and 522 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by presence of a (poorly recognizable) lateral transparent area of the integument, and absence of dark (melanophoric) pigment on the tail.

(24 ° C air temperature) consist of multiple notes (almost tonal in character, but with some irregular amplitude modulation) of variable duration, repeated at variable intervals. Within calls, note duration and inter-note intervals become longer from the beginning to the end of the call. Each note exhibits upward frequency modulation, which is most expressed in the last note (comprising a frequency shift of about 300 Hz) and much less in the first notes of the call. Overall frequency of the call exhibits a slight drop from the beginning to the end of about 200 Hz from the first notes compared to the last note (Fig.

Each note is amplitude modulated with maximum call energy usually present somewhere in the first half of the notes duration.
