Microhyla eremita Barbour, 1920[2] Microhyla fissipes (commonly known as the ornate chorus frog) is a microhylid frog from East and Southeast Asia, from southern and central China and Taiwan to the Malay Peninsula.
It was previously considered to be the same species as Microhyla ornata of South Asia; thus the common names ornate narrow-mouthed frog or ornamented pygmy frog can refer to either species.
It can be found in many habitat types including lowland scrub forests, grassland, agricultural land, pastureland and urban areas.
It tolerates habitat modification and can also occur in non-intensively farmed agricultural land.
[1] In the Peninsular Malaysia, it inhabits upper hill and montane forest where they can be found on low vegetation or around puddles or waterlogged areas.
