Rhombophryne laevipes is a frog of the family Microhylidae. It is endemic to Madagascar[2] and known from localities in northern, eastern, southeastern, and mid-western parts of the island.[1] It might be a species complex, with the "true" R. laevipes restricted to northern Madagascar.[1]
Rhombophryne laevipes occurs in rainforests, including degraded ones. It is a burrowing species. Although rare, it is widespread and tolerates some habitat modification, hence the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) does not consider it threatened.[1]
