Mantidactylus zolitschka Glaw & Vences 2004

M 29-31 mm, F 34-38 mm. Hand without webbing, foot webbing 1(1), 2i(1.25), 2e(1), 3i(1.5), 3e(1), 4i/e(2), 5(1). Similar to M. femoralis, which can occur syntopically, but smaller, especially in females (Glaw and Vences 2007).Taken with permission from Glaw and Vences (2007) and Vallan and Glaw (2008).

This species is known only from An'Ala at 850 m asl in eastern Madagascar, although it might be more widely distributed. It lives in primary and degraded forest near streams (Vallan and Glaw 2008).

This species has only recently been discovered, and more information is needed on its extent of occurrence, status and ecological requirements. It is not known from any protected areas. Serious deforestation due to timber harvesting is taking place at its only known locality. It is probably also being affected by forest loss due to agricultural encroachment and human settlement (Vallan and Glaw 2008).

Mantidactylus zolitschka is a species of frog in the family Mantellidae.

It is endemic to Madagascar. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and rivers. It is threatened by major habitat loss.
