The following genera are recognised in the subfamily Asterophryinae:[1] Script error: No such module "Template wrapper".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The most species-rich genus is Oreophryne (71 species). Two genera are monotypic: Oninia and Siamophryne.[1]

The genera Siamophryne and Vietnamophryne were added to Asterophryinae in 2018.

Body size

Phylogeny and evolution of body size in Asterophryinae. Colours of branches correspond to maximum male snout-vent length (Paedophryne) or average snout-vent length within each clade on a logarithmic scale.[2]

Microhylid frogs are generally small. A few species such as Callulops robustus and Asterophrys turpicola attain snout-vent lengths (SVL) in excess of Script error: No such module "convert"., whereas frogs in genus Paedophryne are particularly small, and Paedophryne amauensis is the world's smallest known vertebrate, attaining an average body size of only Script error: No such module "convert". (range 7.0–8.0 mm).[2]
