The ornate narrow-mouthed frog is a small microhylid with a small head, no teeth, no discernible eardrum and an arrow-shaped mark on the back, generally yellowish with dark brown patches. The account used here gives its range as South Asia, from Nepal and peninsular India to Sri Lanka, and says it was once treated as the same species as Microhyla fissipes, so its Malaysian listing should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account).
