Mantidactylus is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. The genus is divided into several subgenera that form monophyletic genetic clusters and are ecologically similar.
==Taxonomy== Mantidactylus was erected by Boulenger in 1895 with the type species Rana guttulata. For a long time the genus contained a wide variety of mostly terrestrial Madagascan frogs, that were divided into species groups and/or subgenera. Several of these groups were subsequently erected to genus level: Blommersia, Boehmantis, Gephyromantis, Guibemantis, Spinomantis and Wakea. Today, six subgenera remain within the genus Mantidactylus: Mantidactylus Boulenger, 1895 Hylobatrachus Laurent, 1943 Brygoomantis Dubois, 1992 Ochthomantis Glaw & Vences, 1994 Chonomantis Glaw & Vences, 1994 Maitsomantis Glaw & Vences, 2006
