Revision and Phylogeny of Narrow-mouthed Treefrogs (Cophyla) from northern Madagascar: Integration of Molecular, Osteological, and Bioacoustic Data reveals Three New Species; Cophyla puellarum, C. noromalalae & C. maharipeo

We provide a revision of microhylid treefrogs of the genus Cophyla, the type genus of the subfamily Cophylinae. A phylogeny inferred from DNA sequences of multiple mitochondrial and nuclear genes, with representatives of all cophyline genera except Madecassophryne and including representatives of the two most divergent intrageneric lineages within Cophyla, placed Cophyla as sister group of Platypelis and confirmed both genera as reciprocally monophyletic.
