Microhyla pulchra

Microhyla pulchra (Microhyla pulchra) is an amphibian recorded for Vietnam in the project inventory. Its supporting occurrence note is “GBIF: 1413 Vietnam records”. The supplied scientific name is retained because regional frog taxonomy and species boundaries can change, while similar-looking species may require calls, detailed morphology or genetic evidence for reliable separation. This profile therefore distinguishes the recorded identity and occurrence from broader biological context instead of inventing unsupported locality, size, diet or breeding details (project species data; Amphibian Species of the World taxonomy).

These narrow-mouthed frogs belong to a lineage of small, often secretive ground-dwellers that shelter in soil, litter, grass or other low cover. They feed mainly on tiny invertebrates, and many breed after rain in temporary or shallow water where aquatic tadpoles develop. Body form, call and habitat vary considerably among genera and species. These are broader group-level notes rather than observations of this Vietnamese record, so exact size, diet, call, habitat and clutch values are omitted (general microhylid context; Amphibian Species of the World).
