Described in 2011 from the Matang Range near Kuching, Sarawak, this narrow-mouthed frog is a close relative of the even tinier M. borneensis, found alongside it in leaf litter on the forest floor.
Feeds on tiny invertebrates including ants, and is most reliably detected by its high, insect-like call rather than direct observation.
