Boophis andohahela Andreone, Nincheri & Piazza 1995

M 26-30 mm. Dorsally uniformly green with two rather distinct white or yellowish dorsolateral stripes that typically continue at least to the posterior third of the dorsum. Iris usually dark brown in its inner area and beige in its outer area. Iris periphery blue (Glaw and Vences 2007).Partly taken from Glaw and Vences (2007), with permission.

Ambatolahy forest, Andohahela, Vevembe (Glaw and Vences 2007). It occurs at elevations above 400 m asl (Nussbaum and Andreone 2008). It may occur up to 1000 m asl at Ranomafama, but this is based on a single specimen photograph only, of an animal at Ranomafama which may be this species (Nussbaum and Andreone 2008). Found in pristine rainforest (Nussbaum and Andreone 2008).

Males emit their calls at night from perches 1-3 m above the ground in the vegetation along streams in rainforest. Calls consist of a series of fast and distinct trills, very similar to the call of B. jaegeri and different from other green Boophis species in south-eastern Madagascar, although it could be mistaken with the call of B. sp. aff. sibilans (Glaw and Vences 2007). This species is a stream-breeder (Nussbaum and Andreone 2008).

Abundant within its range, and may possibly occur more widely. It requires pristine forest and has not been found in degraded habitat. It occurs within a protected area, the Parc National d'Andohahela. If the range extends outside the Parc National d'Andohahela, that habitat is threatened by increasing subsistence agriculture, logging, charcoal manufacture, invasion and spread of eucalyptus, increased grazing, and expanding human settlement (Nussbaum and Andreone 2008).

Boophis andohahela is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae. It is endemic to Madagascar, officially known only from Andohahela National Park and unofficially from Ranomafana National Park. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and rivers. It is protected in its currently known areas, but if it exists outside if it, it may threatened by habitat loss by agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacturing, invasive eucalyptus, livestock grazing and expanding human settlements.
