The genus    Gephyromantis    belongs to the species-rich family   Mantellidae   and is currently divided in six subgenera. Among these is the subgenusPhylacomantis  , which currently includes four described species:    Gephyromantis   pseudoasper   ,    G.   corvus   ,    G.   azzurrae   , and    G.   atsingy   . The latter three species are distributed in western Madagascar, and two of them (   G.   azzurrae    and    G.   corvus   ) occur in the Isalo Massif. Based on the analysis of molecular data (a fragment of the 16S rRNA gene), morphological inspection of museum specimens, and photographic comparisons,    G.   azzurrae    is synonymised with    G.   corvus    and the second    Phylacomantis    lineage of Isalo is described as    G.   kintana    sp. nov.  This medium-sized frog species (adult snout-vent length 35–44 mm) is assigned to this subgenus according to genetic and morphological similarities to the other known species of    Phylacomantis   .    Gephyromantis   kintana    sp. nov.  is known only from the Isalo Massif, while new records for    G.   corvus    extend its range to ca. 200 km off its currently known distribution. These two taxa seem to occur in syntopy in at least one locality in Isalo, and the easiest way to distinguish them is the inspection of the ventral colouration, dark in    G.   corvus    and dirty white in    G.   kintana   .
