Scaphiophryne spinosa

Scaphiophryne spinosa is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to eastern Madagascar . It has been considered synonym of Scaphiophryne marmorata, but a revision in 2002 restored its species status.[1][3] It inhabits pristine rainforests, swampy forests, forest edges, and degraded forests; it is absent from very open areas. Habitat loss is a threat to this species.[1]
