Rhombophryne coronata is a frog of the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to eastern Madagascar. [1] [2]
Rhombophryne coronata is a terrestrial and fossorial species that inhabits primary and somewhat degraded rainforests as well as pine plantations. It is particularly associated with forests rich in moss and lichens. It is a widespread species that is moderately common in parts of its range. It is suffering from habitat loss caused by subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal production, invasive species ( eucalyptus), and expanding human settlements. It occurs in the Zahamena, Andasibe-Mantadia, and Andringitra National Parks. [1]
