| Type Locality: | Madagascar, Ankarana Forest. |
| Distribution: | Montagne d’Ambre, Ankarana, Andrafiamena and Analamera regions, extreme N Madagascar. |
| Status: | CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA – Endangered; IUCN – Vulnerable as included in L. septentrionalis. |
| Comments: | Shown by Rumpler et al. (2001) to be a distinct species, not a subspecies of L. septentrionalis; they used the name L. andrafiamenensis for it, but Groves (1989:95), who synonymised andrafiamenensis and ankaranensis as a subspecies of L. septentrionalis, selected ankaranensis to have priority. |
