(Duméril and Bibron, 1841)[2]

Microhyla ornata, commonly known as the ornate narrow-mouthed frog, ornate narrow-mouthed toad, or ornamented pygmy frog, is a species of microhylid frog found in South Asia. This amphibian is distributed in Kashmir, Nepal, peninsular India and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.[3] It was previously considered to be the same species as Microhyla fissipes; therefore, the aforementioned common names can refer to either species.[4]
