}}Anodonthyla eximia is a diminutive species of frog of the Madagascar endemic microhylid subfamily Cophylinae. It is the smallest species of the genus Anodonthyla, and is the only known terrestrial member of the genus.[1][2]

Range and distribution

Anodonthyla eximia is only known from Maharira mountain in Ranomafana National Park, South Central East Madagascar.[1]

Description

Anodonthyla eximia measures just {{convert|11.3|mm|abbr=on}}. It superficially closely resembles other diminutive frogs from Madagascar, such as Mini and Stumpffia, but males still have a strongly developed, pointed prepollex bone that is typical of Anodonthyla.[1]

Habitat and ecology

Like most other miniaturised frogs from Madagascar, Anodonthyla eximia is terrestrial. According to the original description, the only known specimen was collected after cyclonic rains. Males emit high-pitched whistling calls from the leaf litter.[1]
