Body size
Phylogeny and evolution of body size in Asterophryinae. Colours of branches correspond to maximum male snout-vent length (Paedophryne ) or average snout-vent length within each clade on a logarithmic scale.[ 3] Microhylid frogs are generally small. A few species such as Callulops robustus Asterophrys turpicola Paedophryne Paedophryne amauensis world's smallest known vertebrate , attaining an average body size of only 7.7 mm (0.30 in) (range 7.0–8.0 mm).[ 3]
