Endemic to Madagascar, tomato frogs are found in the northeast of the island around Antongil Bay (from which they gain their specific name, antongilii) (5), and south to Andevoranto (4). The exact distribution of this species is unclear however, due to confusion with the closely related D. guineti (6).
