Mantella aurantiaca Mocquard View in CoL

The description is based on a tadpole in Gosner stage 30 from the series of tadpoles catalogued as ZSM 1478/ 2004 (11 tadpoles) obtained through captive breeding, from parental specimens without precise collecting locality, in 1996–1998 (see Glaw et al. 2000) (figure 1).

The examined specimen had the following measurements: BL 5.7 mm, BH 2.5 mm, BW 3.3 mm, TMH 1.1 mm, TMW 1.2 mm, MTH 2.1 mm, TMHM 0.9 mm, ED 0.6 mm, IOD 1.6 mm, IND 1.3 mm, ODW 1.7 mm, TAL 11.3 mm, TL 17.1 mm, TN 90, PN 40. The mouth opens ventrally. The papillae are conical, uniserial in the lower labium and in the lateral side of upper labium. The jaw sheath is thin, not fully pigmented and finely serrated. The labial tooth row formula is 5(2–5)/3(1). TAL/TL is 67%. Variation (tables 3, 5–7): Average ratio TAL/TL is ≤ 65% and in one specimen LTRF 6(2–6)/3(1) is found.
