  Arboreal species

  Described by Andreone in 1992. It is a cryptic species very similar to Boophis luteus, from which it differs for some chromatic characters, such as coloration of the back (marbled and not homogeneous as in B. luteus) and for colour of the eyes, which are brownish and not red. Furthermore the call of these two species is much different

  Apparently not directed endangered. As other Malagasy herps it is anyway threatened by the forest fragmentation
