) from Ranomafana. 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 (297 marginal and 309 submarginal; without dorsal gap). They are characterized by absence of a lateral transparent area of the integument, tail muscle covered by reticulations mainly on the anterior half, and eyes situated between the anterior 3 / 10 and 4 / 10 of the body.

(ca. 22–23 ° C air temperature) consist of multiple tonal notes of medium duration, repeated at regular intervals. In each call, the first note is always lower in dominant frequency (4640–4895 Hz) compared to subsequent notes (5528–5668 Hz). Moreover, the first 3–5 notes of each call have a lower relative amplitude than subsequent notes. Each note exhibits a distinct upward frequency modulation, encompassing a shift in dominant frequency range of about 700 Hz from the beginning to the end of the note. Within calls, notes tend to become slightly longer in duration from the beginning to the end of the call. Call energy is distributed in a narrow frequency band. Numerical parameters of four analyzed calls are as follows: call duration 2036–2355 ms (2170.0 ± 165.8 ms); notes / call 16–18 (16.8 ± 0.9); note duration 60–105 ms (75.7 ± 10.0 ms); inter-note interval 45–65 ms (54.0 ± 5.2 ms); note repetition rate within calls varies between ca. 6.5–8.2 notes / second; dominant frequency 5538–5604 Hz (5567 ± 34 Hz); prevalent bandwidth 4600–6100 Hz.
