Top of head flat, canthus rostralis rounded and distinct; loreal region weakly concave; nostril round, closer to tip of snout than to eye; interorbital distance (IOD 2.4 mm) greater than internarial distance (IND 2.0 mm) and upper eyelid width (UEW 1.7 mm). Tympanum rounded, small (TMP 0.6 mm) and distinct; supratympanic fold very indistinct. Choanae rounded; vomerine teeth absent; opening of vocal sac long cleft; tongue slender, with no notch at posterior tip. Forelimbs slender (FLL 14.9 mm), lower arm and hand length (LAL 10.9 mm) more than a half of snout-vent length (LAL / SVL 0.53). Fingers slender with no webbing, rounded in cross-section, no lateral fringes; first finger well-developed, second finger slightly shorter than fourth, relative finger lengths: I <II <IV <III; tips of fingers round and not dilated; subarticular tubercles on fingers distinct, rounded and prominent, formula 1, 1, 2, 2; supernumerary tubercles on palm present and developed; three metacarpal tubercles, inner one rounded and smallest (IPTL 0.4 mm), median one (MPTL 0.7 mm) rounded and almost directly in front of elongated outer one (OPTL 0.8 mm); two rounded and one elongated prominent supernumerary palmar tubercles on the base of fingers II-IV, respectively, slightly larger than inner metacarpal tubercle; nuptial pad absent. Hindlimbs slender and long (HLL 33.3 mm), more than two times longer than forelimbs (HLL / FLL 2.23); tibia (TL 10.9 mm) slightly shorter than one-third of hindlimb length; tibiotarsal articulation of adpressed limb reaching level of front of eye; foot (FL 11.4 mm) slightly longer than tibia. Relative toe lengths: I <II <V <III <IV; tarsus smooth, tarsal fold absent; tips of toes round and not dilated, slightly wider than those of fingers; webbing between toes absent; subarticular tubercles on toes oval and prominent, formula: 1, 1, 2, 3, 2; dermal ridges present under 2 nd to 4 th toes but indistinct; inner metatarsal tubercle oval, prominent, and small (IMTL 0.7 mm); outer metatarsal tubercle absent. Dorsal skin smooth above, scattered with tiny and flat tubercles on dorsum of body, flanks, and hindlimbs; subtle longitudinal median ridge present on dorsum; dorsolateral fold absent; lateral sides of head smooth; ventral skin of body and limbs smooth.	en	Liu, Shuo, Hou, Mian, Mo, Mingzhong, Rao, Dingqi (2021): A new species of Micryletta Dubois, 1987 (Anura, Microhylidae) from Yunnan Province, China.
