Having thought that thew title was recently claimed by the fairly, newly discovered Chameleon Brookesia micra, I was surprised by a claim that the title belongs to a Cuban frog Eleutherodactylus iberia.

When I checked, I found another contender, another tiny frog, Paedophryne amauensis so which is it?

Paedophryne amauensis at 7.7 mm seems to be the smallest.

On this page there is a comparison chart:

Must be pretty difficult to measure these creatures in parts of millimeters though.
