N1 - Funding Information: We thank Jary H. Razafindraibe, Roger-Daniel Randrianiaina, Angeluc Razafi manantsoa, and local park guides for their help during fieldwork, and Meike Kondermann and Gabriele Keunecke for laboratory assistance with the molecular work. We are grateful for the help and research permits issued by Madagascar National Parks (MNP) and the “Direction Générale des Forêts” (DGF). This work was carried out in collaboration with the Mention Zoologie et Biodiversité Animale, Université d’Antananarivo. Field campaigns were partly supported by grants of the Volkswagen Foundation; MV and MDS were supported by grants of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (VE247/13-1 and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft15-1). RML thanks the College of Wooster for the sabbatical that allowed this project to be completed. Publisher Copyright: © 2018, Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. All Rights Reserved.

N2 - We describe two new frog species of the genus Guibemantis Dubois, 1992 (Mantellidae) from northern Madagascar. Both species are placed in the subgenus Pandanusicola Glaw & Vences, 1994 and, like most of their relatives, appear to only inhabit the leaf axils of Pandanus plants. Guibemantis albomaculatus sp. nov. is distinguished from other closely related species by light colored dorsolateral stripes and abundant small white spots found on its fl anks and limbs. Guibemantis woosteri sp. nov. also has light-colored dorsolateral stripes and small white spots, but differs by having strongly banded forelimbs and a reddish coloration around the eye orbits. Mitochondrial DNA sequences corroborate the identity of these two new species, which appear to be regional endemics in northern and north-eastern Madagascar, respectively. These descriptions bring the species count in Pandanusicola to thirteen.
