Gephyromantis is a frog genus in the mantellid subfamily Mantellinae. This genus is restricted to Madagascar. At present it contains 41 species divided into five subgenera.^[1]

Taxonomy

The genus Gephyromantis was erected by Methuen in 1920 for the species Gephyromantis boulengeri.^[2] Blommers-Schlösser considered this group as a subgenus of Mantidactylus,^[3] but it was re-elevated to genus-level in 2006.^[4]
