Table 1 in Consequences of parallel miniaturisation in Microhylinae (Anura, Microhylidae), with the description of a new genus of diminutive South East Asian frogs

Table 1. Summary of osteological differences between Glyphoglossus, Microhyla s. str. and Nanohyla gen. nov. Diagnostic features of the new genus that are subjectively considered by us to be most reliable are highlighted in bold. Asterisk (*) denotes states observed in G. molossus exclusively. For species-specific data, see Suppl. material 5: Table S5.
