Boophis boppa Hutter, Lambert, Cobb, Andriampenomanana & Vences, 2015, sp. nov.
No full textBoophis boppa sp. nov. Suggested common English name. Boppa’s Bright-eyed treefrog Suggested common Malagasy name. Fity maso hazo Sahona ny Boppa Remarks. Previously referred to as Boophis sp. 1 (aff. ankaratra) (Andreone et al. 2007), Boophis aff. ankaratra ‘Antoetra slow’ (Glaw & Vences 2007), and Boophis sp. 18 (Vieites et al. 2009). Holotype (Figs. 2–3 A). KU 336824, an adult male collected by Carl R. Hutter and Zo F. Andriampenomanana on 18 January 2014, at Maharira within Ranomafana National Park (21 ° 20 '06.3"S, 47 ° 24 ' 28.31 "E; 1233 m, above sea level [a.s.l.]), Fianarantsoa province, Madagascar. Paratypes. Adult female KU 336829 and adult male KU 336826 collected on 21 January 2013 by Carl R. Hutter and Shea M. Lambert with same locality data as holotype. Adult males KU 336828, KU 336825, KU 336827, with same collection data as holotype. Referred specimens. UADBA-Uncatalogued (CRH 080), UADBA-Uncatalogued (CRH 168), UADBA- Uncatalogued (CRH 178) with same collection data as holotype. Etymology. This species in named in honor of Nicholas Jay Pritzker, devoted grandfather, father and husband, brilliant businessman, philanthropist, amateur scientist, committed conservationist; and board member, supporter and long-time friend of Conservation International. The name ‘Boppa’ is an affectionate nickname used by his children and grandchildren. This dedication is courtesy of his youngest son Isaac, who has generously supported amphibian research in Madagascar, including this study and future taxonomic research as well. The species name is used as an invariable noun in apposition to the genus name. Diagnosis. Boophis boppa (Figs. 2–4) is placed in the family Mantellidae, subfamily Boophinae, and genus Boophis, as diagnosed by Glaw & Vences (2006). The new species shares the following combination of morphological traits with all other Boophis: presence of intercalary element between ultimate and penultimate phalanges of fingers and toes; presence of nuptial pads and absence of femoral glands in males; absence of gular glands in males; terminal discs of fingers and toes enlarged; lateral metatarsalia separated by webbing; and absence of outer metatarsal tubercle. Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses support the placement of the new species in the genus Boophis. Boophis boppa is placed in the Boophis albipunctatus group as supported by the phylogenetic analyses. Additionally, the following combination of characters provide additional evidence for the inferred phylogenetic relationships: small body size (male SVL 90 %; PP> 0.95; Fig. 8). Uncorrected p-distances using the 16 S fragment indicate that B. ankaratra has the lowest distance to the new species, at 1.9–3.7 %. Additionally, we find that variation in genetic distance among B. boppa and B. ankaratra is not related to geographic proximity. The lowest distance of 1.9 % (Imaitso Forest; FMGV 1697) does not correspond to proximate localities and the highest distance of 3.7 % is from Ranomafana National Park (Ranomena; ZCMV 5989). This variability in distances is likely a result of varying amounts of sequence overlap being compared. Overall, these results provide strong evidence that the species is a separately evolving lineage and does not reproduce with other species in the complex. Distribution (Fig. 1). Boophis boppa is known from Ranomafana National Park (RNP), but has only been found at high elevation sites (~ 1046–1312 m, a.s.l.). In addition to the type locality of Maharira, DNA sequences also confirm that specimens FAZC 11454, 11462, and 11480 collected from Farihimazava forest near Antoetra (20 ° 50 '06"S, 47 ° 19 ' 57 "E, 1380–1420 m, a.s.l.; ca. 55 km north west of the type locality; see Andreone et al. 2007) are conspecific. Additionally, tadpoles ZCMV 9739 collected at Imaloka (RNP: 21 ° 14 ' 32 "S, 47 ° 27 ' 55 "E, 1020 m, a.s.l.) and ZSM 1164 / 2007 from Sakaroa (RNP: 21 ° 15 '00.1"S, 47 ° 24 ' 53.6 "E) belong to Boophis boppa. The species has a known elevational distribution of ca. 1020–1400 m, a.s.l. Natural history (Fig. 12). Boophis boppa was locally abundant but thus far only found in undisturbed, primary forests along fast moving streams and was occasionally found along slow flowing tributaries adjacent to fast streams. Males of the species typically were calling at night from the surfaces of vegetation less than three meters in height (Fig. 12 A–B). Females of B. boppa were rarely encountered and were only observed while in amplexus (Fig. 12 C). We also confirm that Boophis boppa is syntopic with Boophis ankaratra at Maharira and that the two species can be found calling less than a meter apart. This is also consistent with Andreone et al. (2007), which found B. boppa (i.e. Boophis aff. ankaratra) and B. ankaratra to occur sympatrically. Other syntopic species of Boophis at Maharira include: B. madagascariensis, B. majori, B. aff. marojezensis, B. aff. picturatus, B. popi, and B. reticulatus. Conservation status. The new species is known from Ranomafana National Park and its vicinity, extending into the Antoetra area. While it is known from a geographic area less than ~ 5,000 km 2, there are no known immediate threats, reductions in quality or extent of habitat, or observed declines as the species is well protected within Ranomafana National Park. Therefore, the new species meets only criterion (B 1), and could become endangered in the future if the situation changes at Ranomafana, for instance through population declines from chytridiomycosis, which has been detected in the park (Bletz et al. 2015). We recommend a conservation status of Near Threatened, following IUCN (2001) criteria.Published as part of Hutter, Carl R., Lambert, Shea M., Cobb, Kerry A., Andriampenomanana, Zo Faniry & Vences, Miguel, 2015, A new species of bright-eyed treefrog (Mantellidae) from Madagascar, with comments on call evolution and patterns of syntopy in the Boophis ankaratra complex, pp. 531-555 in Zootaxa 4034 (3) on pages 537-546, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4034.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/23809
