) from Tsaratanana, respectively. 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 (243290 marginal and 452660 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by presence of a lateral transparent area of the integument.

, 21: 35 h (air temperature not recorded) consist of a high-pitched trill-like call composed of multiple very short tonal notes repeated at rather regular intervals and rapid succession. Within calls, usually the last 23 notes are slightly longer in duration when compared to leading notes (4898 vs. 1233 ms), and amplitude is modulated among notes, with call energy steadily increasing from the first to the last note of the call. Each note exhibits an upward frequency modulation, which is only very slightly expressed in the short notes, but more distinct in the last 23 notes of the call, comprising a shift in frequency ~ 100 Hz at maximum from beginning to the end of the note. Frequency modulation across the entire call may show some slight downward shift (Fig.

Numerical parameters of four analyzed calls from different individuals are as follows: call duration 9211218 ms (1134.3 ± 142.6 ms); notes / call 2533 (29.0 ± 3.4); note duration 1298 ms (29.1 ± 22.6 ms); inter-note interval 1731 ms (21.7 ± 4.1 ms); note repetition rate within calls varies between ca. 2630 notes / second; dominant frequency 51745507 Hz (5367 ± 144 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 48005700 Hz.
