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) 
DiagnosisAdditional details, e.g. a detailed description or comparisons (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.
