Heterixalus betsileo (Blommers-Schlosser and Blanc, 1991)

Andreone, F., Glaw, F., Nussbaum, R. A., Raxworthy, C. J., Vences, M. & Randrianirina, J. E., 2003, The amphibians and reptiles of Nosy Be (NW Madagascar) and nearby islands: a case study of diversity and conservation of an insular fauna, Journal of Natural History 37 (17), pp. 2119-2149 : 2146

(2) Heterixalus betsileo . Blommers-Schlösser and Blanc (1991) report the presence of this species on Nosy Mamoko. As far as known H. betsileo does not occur in N. Madagascar, where it is replaced by other species (e.g. H. luteostriatus , H. tricolor , H. ‘ variabilis ’). At Nosy Be only H. tricolor has been reliably signalled. On the other hand, the finding of H. ‘ variabilis ’ at Nosy Faly would possibly support the presence of this taxon at another island next to mainland Madagascar, as for Nosy Mamoko.
