Nanohyla is a genus of frogs in the family Microhylidae. Members of the genus are known as pygmy narrow-mouthed frogs. The members of the genus are found throughout Southeast Asia in the countries of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines.[1][2]
Taxonomy
All the members of Nanohyla were formerly placed in Microhyla; however, a 2021 study used morphological and phylogenetic evidence to show that Nanohyla forms a separate lineage from Microhyla and Glyphoglossus.[2]
