Nyctibatrachus minimus

Nyctibatrachus minimus is a species of frog in theNyctibatrachidae family. It is the smallest known frogin the genus Nyctibatrachus and was recently discoveredfrom Kurichiyarmala in the Western Ghats or Wayanad,Kerala.Its most distinctive feature is the small adult snout-ventlength, averaging only 12.3 mm in adult males (N = 15).Miniaturization in Nyctibatrachus species seems to be as-sociated with absence of webbing on toes and ngers,which may have resulted from evolutionary specializationto life in terrestrial habitats.[1]
