Cophyla grandis
—
Boulenger’s Giant Treefrog
Authorities keep moving this species back and forth between genus Cophyla and genus Platypelis. I don't know where it will land "permanently".
Cophlya/Platypelis grandis is no doubt proud to be declared the largest of all strictly arboreal microhylids. Just look at the toe pads on that fellow!
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
