Arboa antsingyae is a tree found in western Madagascar.[2] While A. antsingyae is currently classified as critically endangered,[1] it is currently unknown if A. antsingyae is extant as the last observation of the species was in 1952.[3] Previously it was classified as Erblichia antsingyae and Piriqueta antsingyae, however, phylogenetic analysis suggested reclassification of the species in Arboa.[4]
