The genus Gephyromantis is a clade within the Malagasy-Comoroan family Mantellidae composed of rainforest frogs that live and breed to varying degrees independently from water. Based on DNA sequences of five mitochondrial and five nuclear genes we inferred the phylogeny of these frogs with full taxon coverage at the species level. Our preferred consensus tree from a partitioned Bayesian analysis of 5843 base pairs of 51 nominal and candidate species supports various major clades within the genus although the basal relationships among these remain unresolved. The data provide strong evidence for the monophyly of the subgenera Gephyromantis (after exclusion of Gephyromantis klemmeri), Laurentomantis, Vatomantis, and Phylacomantis. Species assigned to the subgenus Duboimantis belong to two strongly supported clades of uncertain relationships. G. klemmeri, previously in the subgenus Gephyromantis, was placed with high support sister to the Laurentomantis clade, and the Laurentomantis+G. klemmeri clade was sister to Vatomantis. A reconstruction of ancestral distribution areas indicates a diversification of several subgenera in the northern biogeographic regions of Madagascar and the dispersal out of northern Madagascar for several clades.
胎生蟾蜍属是马达加斯加-科摩罗蟾科的一个分支，由生活在不同程度上与水分离的雨林青蛙组成。基于五个线粒体和五个核基因的 DNA 序列，我们推断了这些青蛙的系统发育，在物种水平上进行了全面的分类群覆盖。我们对 51 个命名和候选物种的 5843 个碱基对进行分区贝叶斯分析的首选共识树支持胎生蟾蜍属内的各种主要分支，尽管这些分支之间的基本关系仍未解决。这些数据为 Gephyromantis（排除 Gephyromantis klemmeri 后）、Laurentomantis、Vatomantis 和 Phylacomantis 亚属的单系性提供了强有力的证据。被分配到 Duboimantis 亚属的物种属于两个关系不确定的强烈支持的分支。G. klemmeri 以前属于 Gephyromantis 亚属，与 Laurentomantis 分支具有高度支持的姐妹关系，而 Laurentomantis+G. klemmeri 分支与 Vatomantis 分支具有姐妹关系。祖先分布区的重建表明，马达加斯加北部生物地理区域的几个亚属多样化，以及几个分支从马达加斯加北部扩散出来。
