Mantella species can hybridise, it isn't just a simple possibility lol but the whole point I am raising towards it being imported is, like with most exported individuals from Madagascar, they are kept mainly together, with different species so there wouldn't be simple Mantella aurantiaca groups or Mantella madagascarensis groups, and the gathering of individuals is done well in advance of the importation shipment departure...
Yes their distribution range doesn't concede with the two species, I know full well the distribution of all the genus, but after stating how imports are built up, I have explained my point a little better for you.

There are, like I stated before, many confer species found within the distribution ranges of all the species, so it could also be a Confer individual... But like I said, you will never know what the individual will be, unless, have you asked for more information from the original seller?
Still don't see it, maybe someone deleted it. That's a good point though, to clarify you're saying that she could have been produced while the different species were housed together awaiting departure? I am trying to find the original seller currently. The place I bought it from didn't know much, since they didn't even know that they had her.
Also to clarify, what do you mean when you refer to "confer" species?
