We are describing several new species, and re-describing almost all others, or dramatically improving knowledge of their distribution, ecology, etc., including this beautiful chap, Rhombophryne testudo, the type species of the genus. It feels so good to finally have this paper submitted. It was a huge project and it has dragged and dragged. Now I can't wait to share the new species with you all! But it will probably be many months, maybe even a year, until it sees the light of day. When it does, I will of course share it here.
