Microhylidae (see family information on Tree of Life site)
Narrow-mouthed frogs
A complicated group, with 70 genera and over 450 species. These are terrestrial or arboreal frogs distributed throughout the Americas, Asia, Africa and Madagascar. They 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. Dyscophus antongilii is 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. 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.
