- Paedophryne (n.)
- frog genus, 2010, literally "child toad," from Greek paedo- "child" (see pedo-) + phryne typically "toad," but occasionally "frog" (the usual Greek for "frog" was batrakhos), which is perhaps from PIE *bher- (3) "shining, brown," or else from a local pre-Greek word. It includes Paedophryne amauensis, which was formally named 2012 and is considered the world's smallest vertebrate. The amauensis is from Amau village in Papua New Guinea, near which it was first found.
