DistributionMadagascar (Toamasina, Fanovana)

Type locality: “province de Fanovana, Madagascar”  
Reproductionoviparous (phylogenetic imputation, fide Zimin et al. 2022) 
TypesHolotype: MNHN-RA 1906.0060 (lost, fide Brygoo, 1987 but apparently extant) 
DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data to their customers. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions or comparisons (about 539 characters), are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us for details. 
CommentLimb morphology: Forelimbs with 2-3 digits, hind limbs with 2-4 digits.

Conservation: seems to be very rare. After the original description in 1906 a second specimen was only described by Brygoo in 1987. 
EtymologyNamed after “M. le Dr. Crenn” from whom the type specimen was obtained. Dr Louis Crenn also wrote a monograph on ophthalmic diseases in Madagascar in 1910.
