The frogs are so small that one can sit on a coin. (web summaries of the original description).
The genus Liurana (seven species) is restricted to high elevations, above 2,200 m, in the Himalayas, and the Yarlung Tsangpo river has played a role in the genetic isolation of its species. (web summaries of the original description).
