Blommersia angolafa is a species of frogs in the family Mantellidae. This recently described species is endemic to eastern Madagascar.[2] The specific epithet is derived from the term “angolafa” or “angolafo”, which is the Malagasy vernacular name used by the Betsimisaraka people for the Dypsis palm species (mostly for Dypsis lastelliana), whose leaves and prophylls are the habitat for this frog.[1]
