Boophis is a well‑documented genus of arboreal frogs in the family Mantellidae, endemic to Madagascar and nearby islands. The genus name derives from Greek roots bous “ox” and ophis “snake,” a reference historically used in taxonomy for certain amphibians with robust bodies.
The specific epithet ulftunni does not appear in recognized taxonomic databases (e.g., Amphibian Species of the World, IUCN Red List, GBIF) nor in peer‑reviewed literature concerning the genus Boophis. Consequently, there is no verifiable encyclopedic information confirming the existence of a species, subspecies, or any formal scientific usage of the name Boophis ulftunni.
Given the lack of reliable sources, the term is not widely recognized in the scientific community. Any further discussion would be speculative.
