We integrate molecular, bioacoustic and morphological data to provide a systematic revision of the frogs classi- fied in the Gephyromantis asper clade (Anura: Mantellidae), endemic to Madagascar. Based on concordant differentiation in a mitochondrial and a nuclear gene (16S rRNA and Rag1) we distinguish six different species in this clade: G.

Scherz, e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: 6 December 2015 Accepted: 22 February 2016 by Jörn Köhler Abstract. We describe two new microhylid frog species of the genus Rhombophryne from the humid forests of northeast- ern Madagascar: Rhombophryne botabota sp. n. and R. savaka sp. n. The former is a medium-sized species, characterised by darkened lateral sides of the head (present in only one other congener, R. laevipes) and a unique combination of mor- phological, osteological, and molecular characters. The latter is a rather small species, characterised by medially undivided vomerine teeth with two large lateral diastemata, and presence of inguinal spots. Rhombophryne savaka sp. n. is the first species of the genus known from Makira Natural Park, and is reported also from Marojejy National Park and Amboloko- patrika (Betaolana Forest). Although its distribution range is relatively large compared to those of congeners, its known extent of occurrence is less than 2,000 km².
