Description
Views of palmar surfaces of males of various Anodonthyla species, showing relative size and degree of separation of first finger and prepollex[1]
One of the most obvious morphological synapomorphies of the genus is the presence, in males only, of a large prepollex that runs along the first finger and generally is closely connected to the first finger over most of its length. Correlated to this character, in males and females, the first finger is very short compared to other cophylines.[1]
