Platypelis tsaratananaensis is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. The amphibian is endemic to northern Madagascar. Distribution The natural habitat of Platypelis tsaratananaensis is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It inhabits tall montane rainforest and bamboo groves, and is probably not found outside mature forest, and is probably restricted to altitudes above . It is found almost exclusively found on bamboo, and may benefit from the presence of the Daubentonia madagascariensis (nocturnal lemur) for the creation of holes in the bamboo. It breeds in bamboo stems by larval development. Conservation It is threatened by habitat loss due to subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacture, spread of invasive eucalyptus trees, livestock grazing, and expanding human settlements.
