A small narrow-mouthed frog in the genus Microhyla, part of a group of tiny, similar-looking frogs found across lowland forest, forest edge and disturbed habitat.
Feeds on ants and other tiny invertebrates, breeding explosively in temporary pools after rain; like most Microhyla, most reliably identified by call rather than appearance.
