Systematics

Historically only two genera were recognized within the Mantellinae: Mantella and Mantidactylus. Several subgenera were recognized within the genus Mantidactylus. These were elevated to genus level in 2006 and are now universally accepted. These are Blommersia, Boehmantis, Gephyromantis, Guibemantis, Spinomantis, and Wakea. Tsingymantis is also often considered a member of this subfamily.
