Andapa, Montagne des Français, Ankarana, Montagne d’Ambre (Glaw and Vences 2007). Probably occurs more widely. It has been found between 100-1,100 m asl along streams of evergreen forest and dry forest. It also inhabits degraded habitats, with one specimen found in a ditch within degraded forest near a town (Vences et al. 2008).

Habits: Similar to M. ulcerosus (Glaw and Vences 2007). Breeding takes place in streams (Vences et al. 2008).Calls: A single, relatively short pulsed note of low intensity (Glaw and Vences 2007).

Common. It occurs in one protected area, the Mont d'Ambre National Park. This species can tolerate degraded habitat and appears to be an adaptable species (Vences et al. 2008).
