	Microhylidae
		Duellman and Trueb (1986) continued to use the Type 2 larva (their character O2) as a synapomorphy of Microhylidae, and discussed the intermediate morphological status of the scaphiophrynine tadpole.
		Therefore, it is not necessary to modify the endings of names such as Cophylinae, etc. Microhylidae was defined to be the most recent common ancestor of scaphiophrynines and Scoptanura, and all its descendants; this is the currently used concept of the name.
		Synapomorphies of Microhylidae include the following larval features: absence of cornified denticles, ventral velum divided medially, glottis fully exposed on buccal floor, nares not perforated, secretory ridges of branchial food traps with only a single row of secretory cell apices (Wassersug, 1984), and two or three palatal folds in adults (Parker, 1934).

	Amphibians of Pakistan: Narrow-mouth frogs of Pakistan: Family Microhylidae
		They have narrow-mouth, due to which they can take small insects as food, this is why they are also called “ant-frogs.” The Microhylidae has the largest number of genera, more than 60.
		As a group they tend to be ant and termite-specialists.
		Family Microhylidae is represented in Pakistan by two genera, Microhyla and Uperodon, each with a single species:

	Amphibian Species of the World - Microhylidae Günther, 1858 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		For purposes of priority the Microhylidae takes the date 1843 from Hylaedactyli (based on Hylaedactylus [= Kaloula]) and Gastrophrynae (based on Gastrophryne; formerly a junior synonym of Microhyla) of Fitzinger, 1843, Syst.
		Blommers-Schlösser, 1975, Beaufortia, 24: 14, noted that the morphological intermediacy of the Scaphiophryninae supported the view that the Microhylidae was most closely related to the Ranidae (sensu lato).
		The internal taxonomy of the Microhylidae is problematical, having not been substantially addressed since Parker, 1934, Monogr.

		I've been told that these amphibians are very specific eaters so the more information I can get the better.
		The family Microhylidae is very diverse and contains over 300 species.
