It was previously called ''Psyllophryne didactyla''. Adult Brazilian Gold Frogs measure to only 9.8 millimeters ({{Fraction|24.7|64}} inches) in body length. Many have a beautiful golden color, for which they are named. The smallest frogs of the Northern Hemisphere are the [[Cuba]]n ''[[Eleutherodactylus iberia]]'', which can be two-tenths of a millimeter smaller, and ''[[Eleutherodactylus limbatus]]'', of which fully mature adults as small as 8.5 mm have been found.{{Fact|date=June 2007}} [[Image:FrogchartX y1.png|500px|A relative comparison of some of the world's smallest frogs.]] ==References== {{reflist}} * {{IUCN2006|assessors=Telles & Potsch de Carvalho-e-Silva|year=2004|id=54452|title=Brachycephalus didactylus|downloaded=12 May 2006}} Database entry includes a range map and justification for why this species is of least concern [[Category:Saddleback toads]] {{amphibian-stub}} [[ca:Brachycephalus didactylus]] [[fr:Brachycephalus didactylus]]
