Mantidactylus inaudax clade

A clade with several lineages of rather small size (21.7–37.5 mm adult SVL) bearing morphological similarities to species in the M. biporus clade, but phylogenetically sister to the M. curtus clade. Unlike most species in the M. biporus clade, many individuals in the M. inaudax clade have dorsolateral folds (which can be weakly expressed). The clade contains one widespread and genetically variable species for which we here revalidate the historical name M. inaudax . The clade further contains one new species for which we name, in addition, two deep lineages as subspecies (see justification in the respective accounts), based on holotypes depicted in Fig. 73.
