no known English name
Until 2010, these bumpy little frogs would have been considered Anodonthyla boulengerii. But a detailed study on this group of frogs revealed that though they look pretty much exactly like A. boulengerii, they have different calls, and different DNA.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
This one's texture and patterning are the mathematical average of the two above. Just don't ask me to show my work.
