Microhyla Mantheyi
''Microhyla mantheyi'' (common name: Manthey's narrow-mouthed frog) is a species of Microhylidae, microhylid frog. It is endemic to the Malay Peninsula and occurs in southern Myanmar, southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore. However, molecular data suggest that the nominal species consists of at least two cryptic species. ''Microhyla mantheyi'' inhabits lowland forests and slightly disturbed areas where they are usually found on the ground or in low vegetation. References

Microhylidae
The Microhylidae, commonly known as narrow-mouthed frogs, are a geographically widespread family of frogs. The 683 species are in 63 genera and 11 subfamilies, which is the largest number of genera of any frog family. Evolution A molecular phylogenetic study by van der Meijden, et al. (2007) has estimated the initial internal divergence of the family Microhylidae to have taken place about 66 million years ago, or immediately after the Cretaceous extinction event. The most recent common ancestor of the Microhylidae and their closest ranoid relatives is estimated to have lived 116 million years ago in Gondwana. Description As suggested by their name, microhylids are mostly small frogs. Many species are below in length, although some species are as large as . They can be arboreal or terrestrial, and some even live close to water. The ground-dwellers are often found under leaf litter within forests, occasionally venturing out at night to hunt. The two main shapes for the microhyli ...
