Anjajavy contains a small, beautifully manicured garden where afternoon snacks and tea are served on a grassy lawn. Usually a troupe of Coquerel's Sifakas pass through the garden at about this time as part of their afternoon meal circuit. A pond fills the middle of the garden area, and these small frogs fill the pond. During the daytime I found one or two of these frogs around the pond's edge, but at night there were dozens and dozens of them.

I had originally identified these as Boophis tephraeomystax. Thanks to Madagascar frog expert Devin Edmonds for correcting me.

Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2007 trip to Madagascar.

Earlier on this trip we had seen this frog's eastern sister species, Boophis tephraeomystax. At Isalo we had crossed far enough west to see this one instead. They're basically indistinguishable on the outside.

The Authority doesn't bother describing the appearance of this species because it's exactly the same as Boophis tephraeomystax. About that species, it says "juveniles typically greenish". I would say that these crossed the line between "greenish" and just plain "green" a while ago.
