Sooglossus sechellensis (Boettger 1896)

The males are generally smaller than the females, and have an average snout-vent length between 16.4 and 17.7 mm. Male calls are complex and consist of a single primary note, followed by four secondary notes. The dominant frequency of the primary note is approximately 2660 Hz.

S. sechellensis is confined to relatively wet, small forests of 2 small islands, Mahe (14,480 ha) and Silhouette (1600 ha) of the Seychelles Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It has been found between altitudes of 240 and 984 m.It is mostly a forest litter species, found in accumulations of cinnamon, Northea, or bois rouge leaves.

During amplexus, the female deposits the eggs in a terrestrial nest site, where it is thought that they are then guarded by the male. When they hatch, the tadpoles climb onto the male's back until they undergo metamorphisis.
