TL;DR: The synonymization of Mantella madagascariensis haraldmeieri Busse with M. cowani Boulenger, 1882 by Blommers-Schlosser and Blanc (1991) is unjustified, because re-examination of the type material and descriptions demonstrates the specific distinctness of both.
Abstract: The synonymization of Mantella madagascariensis haraldmeieri Busse, 1981 with M. cowani Boulenger, 1882 by Blommers-Schlosser and Blanc (1991) is unjustified. Re-examination of the type material and descriptions demonstrates the specific distinctness of both, regardless the possibility that cowani and other nominal taxa commonly considered as synonyms of M. madagascariensis are actually taxonomically distinct from the latter.
