Asterophryinae is a subfamily of microhylid frogs distributed in an area from the Peninsular Malaysia through the Malay Archipelago to northern Australia.[2]

Genera

The following genera are recgnised in the subfamily Asterophryinae:[2]

Aphantophryne Fry, 1917
Asterophrys Tschudi, 1838
Austrochaperina Fry, 1912
Barygenys Parker, 1936
Callulops Boulenger, 1888
Choerophryne Van Kampen, 1914
Cophixalus Boettger, 1892
Copiula Méhely, 1901
Gastrophrynoides Noble, 1926
Hylophorbus Macleay, 1878
Mantophryne Boulenger, 1897
Oninia Günther, Stelbrink, and von Rintelen, 2010
Oreophryne Boettger, 1895
Paedophryne Kraus, 2010
Siamophryne Suwannapoom, Sumontha, Tunprasert, Ruangsuwan, Pawangkhanant, Korost & Poyarkov, 2018
Sphenophryne Peters and Doria, 1878
Vietnamophryne Poyarkov, Suwannapoom, Pawangkhanant, Aksornneam, Duong, Korost, & Che, 2018
Xenorhina Peters, 1863 (synonym: Xenobatrachus Peters and Doria, 1878)

The most species-rich genus is Oreophryne (71 species). Two genera are monotypic: Oninia and Siamophryne.[2]

The genera Siamophryne and Vietnamophryne were added to Asterophryinae in 2018.

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 and Asterophrys turpicola attain snout-vent lengths (SVL) in excess of 50 mm (2.0 in), whereas frogs in genus Paedophryne are particularly small, and Paedophryne amauensis is the 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]

gollark: They do have more brackets though, sadly.

gollark: Even my (Node.)JS programs are probably faster.

gollark: Of course. It's Haskell.

gollark: *sigh*

gollark: Although Python does let you use unicode characters in identifiers.
