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. Here, each unit is interpreted as singlepulse call (= single-pulse note) arranged in series (under this definition the provided pulse rate reflects call rate), but it would also be possible to consider the entire vocalization as single-note multi-pulsed call with very long duration, containing very widely spaced pulses. Values for pulse rate (pulses/second) are rounded. We here evaluate the presence versus absence of regular call series (last column), where regular series are considered as such, if calls are emitted at really regular intervals in series of similar duration containing a more or less defined number of calls. # In M. ambohimitombi, several unsexed individuals of the type series, probably females, reach sizes of up to 65 mm, being the largest of all Brygoomantis known. †One female of M. biporus of 19.3 mm SVL is probably a not fully mature specimen; other females of the species measure 3136 mm SVL." httpUri="http://table.plazi.org/id/83F3168BFFEAFFF84CBF4AEE4C717C8F" pageId="166" pageNumber="279" tableUuid="83F3168BFFEAFFF84CBF4AEE4C717C8F">Table 4</tableCitation>

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. Here, each unit is interpreted as singlepulse call (= single-pulse note) arranged in series (under this definition the provided pulse rate reflects call rate), but it would also be possible to consider the entire vocalization as single-note multi-pulsed call with very long duration, containing very widely spaced pulses. Values for pulse rate (pulses/second) are rounded. We here evaluate the presence versus absence of regular call series (last column), where regular series are considered as such, if calls are emitted at really regular intervals in series of similar duration containing a more or less defined number of calls. # In M. ambohimitombi, several unsexed individuals of the type series, probably females, reach sizes of up to 65 mm, being the largest of all Brygoomantis known. †One female of M. biporus of 19.3 mm SVL is probably a not fully mature specimen; other females of the species measure 3136 mm SVL." httpUri="http://table.plazi.org/id/83F3168BFFEAFFF84CBF4AEE4C717C8F" pageId="169" pageNumber="282" tableUuid="83F3168BFFEAFFF84CBF4AEE4C717C8F">Table 4</tableCitation>
