Blythophryne beryet is the only species of the genus Blythophryne, a group of true toads described from the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It is about 24 millimetres long, and the genus is distinguished from other toad genera by its small adult size (Wikipedia, general species account, genus page).
