Taxonomy

The genus Guibemantis was erected as a subgenus of Mantidactylus by Dubois in 1992 with the type species Guibemantis depressiceps.^[2] It was elevated to genus-level in 2006.^[3]

In 1994, the subgenus Pandanusicola was erected for a group of species that are strongly associated with Pandanus screw-palms.^[4] It was originally proposed as an additional subgenus of Mantidactylus, but when Guibemantis was elevated to genus-level in 2006, Pandanusicola was made a subgenus of it.^[3]
