N2 - We describe two new frog species of the Madagascarendemic genus Gephyromantis, belonging to the G. tandrokacomplex in the subgenus Duboimantis. Gephyromantis(Duboimantis) saturnini sp. nov. is known from specimenscollected at Ampotsidy, in the District de Bealanana of theRégion Sofia of northern Madagascar. It is a large andgenetically distinct species with small interocular tubercles andindistinct femoral glands that emits calls in series composed ofcouplets and triplets. Morphologically and bioacoustically, it ismost similar to G. tandroka, but genetically it was recoveredas sister to G. schilfi, from which it is separated by anuncorrected p-distance of 5.1 % in the mitochondrial 16S rRNAgene. Gephyromantis (Duboimantis) grosjeani sp. nov. wascollected on the Sorata massif, in the District de Vohemar ofthe Région Sava of northern Madagascar. It is a medium-sizedspecies with large and distinct femoral glands, which are adistinctive characteristic from other members of this complex.Genetically, it is distinguished from all other Gephyromantisspecies by uncorrected p-distances of at least 5.1 % in the 16SrRNA gene.
