A large, complicated group, with up to 60 genera and over 700 species. These are mostly fossorial or terrestrial (with some arboreal) frogs distributed throughout the Americas, Asia (India and most of southeast Asia, to New Guinea), northern Australia, sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, with the greatest number of species in Madagascar and Southeast Asia (van der Meijden et al. 2007). The microhylids display a variety of reproductive strategies including aquatic larvae, larvae without mouthparts and direct development. Species are similar in body plans through the presence of stout hind legs, short snouts, and globose bodies with a generalized teardrop shape. One of the more colorful microhylids is Dyscophus antongilii, known as the Tomato Frog due to to its rounded body (which becomes even more rounded when it inflates as it senses danger) and bright red color; this frog is native to Madagascar.

Bossuyt and Roelants (2009) proposed a taxonomy for anurans that would elevate microhylid subfamilies to families, since these clades are thought to have an ancient divergence time (late Cretaceous) based on analysis of molecular data. Given that time estimates are subject to revision depending on the particular modeling analysis used, and Bossuyt and Roelant's statement that "molecular time estimates for some anuran nodes are notably older than those derived from the fossil record", AmphibiaWeb is choosing to retain these microhylid clades as subfamilies rather than families.

Van der Meijden et al. (2007) found that the genus Otophryne was basal to microhylids and excluded it from the subfamily Microhylinae but did not assign this genus to another subfamily; we have here followed Frost (2009) in resurrecting the subfamily Otophryninae to hold this genus. We have also provisionally assigned the South American genera Adelastes, Altigius, Arcovomer, Hyophryne, Melanophryne, Myersiella, Relictivomer, Stereocyclops, and Syncope to the subfamily Gastrophryninae, which includes South American microhylids, although neither Frost (2006) nor van der Meijden et al. (2007) chose to assign these genera to subfamilies. We have followed Frost (2006) and Van der Meijden (2007) in leaving the Indonesian/Malaysian genera Gastrophrynoides and Phrynella unassigned as to subfamily, as well as the South American genus Synapturanus, which Van der Meijden et al. explicitly excluded from Gastrophryninae. For the newly described genus Paedophryne, we have followed Kraus (2010) in provisionally assigning this genus to the subfamily Asterophryinae.

The subfamilies of Microhylidae recognized by AmphibiaWeb include:

1. Adelastinae (South America)
2. Asterophryinae (Australia, mainly Papua New Guinea; direct development)
3. Cophylinae (Madagascar)
4. Dyscophinae (Madagascar)
5. Gastrophryninae (South America)
6. Hoplophryninae (Africa)
7. Kalophryninae (Asia)
8. Melanobatrachinae (Asia)
9. Microhylinae (Asia; this group has both endotrophic larvae and feeding, free-swimming larvae)
10. Otophryninae (South America)
11. Phrynomerinae (Africa)
12. Scaphiophryninae (Madagascar)

News Highlight
December 14, 2017: New species of amphibians continue to be described at a rate of about 2.9 species per week! Many of the newly discovered species lay eggs that develop directly without tadpoles and they typically have small to very small geographic ranges. Such is the case with the microhylid genus Stumpffia, endemic to Madagascar, a clade of mainly small to miniaturized frogs (a few are much larger than the others). A new paper by Rakotoarison et al. (2017) describes 26 new species based on a multidimensional analysis. The genus is highly diversified genetically as well as morphologically and there is also some variation in life history (See Stumpffia on AmphibiaWeb). Regrettably, 18 of the total of 41 species in this genus are recommended for classification as Endangered, and eight as Critically Endangered. The new species tend to come from what are literally the last wild places. (DW)

Notable Family Characteristics

  • Terrestrial, aquatic, arboreal and some fossorial species, including cave-dwelling (Siamophryne troglodytes)
  • A variety of habitats, from deserts to wet tropical rain forests
  • A variety of reproductive strategies including aquatic larvae, larvae without mouthparts and direct development
  • Morphological characters for this group are: 1) cornified denticles absent in larvae; 2) glottis fully exposed in the buccal floor in larvae; 3) nares not perforated in larvae; 4) ventral velum divided medially in larvae; 5) two or three palatal folds in adults. Generally similar in body plan with stout hind legs, short snouts, and globose bodies with a generalized teardrop shape
  • Distribution widely in the Americas, Asia (India and most of southeast Asia, to New Guinea), northern Australia, sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, with the greatest number of species in Madagascar and Southeast Asia
