Hyperolius minutissimus Schiøtz, 1975
This is a small Hyperolius with a brown dorsum and broad light canthal and dorsolateral stripes that may be green or yellow. Some individuals also have light spots on the legs and dorsum (Text from Harper et al., 2010).
The tiny males may be confused with H. pictus metamorphs, but the latter typically have three
distinct lines on the dorsum which H. minutissimus lacks. H. minutissimus is similar to H. spinigularis, but H. minutissimus lacks blue coloration and the males are substantially smaller than in H. spinigularis (Harper et al., 2010).
Males range from 12–17 mm in snout-vent length, while females are larger, measuring 18–24 mm (Harper et al., 2010).
This species is found in open high-elevation grasslands and forest clearings at elevations above 1800 m (Harper et al., 2010).
Breeds in temporary pools in grasslands (Harper et al., 2010).
