Stumpffia is a genus of microhylid frogs that are endemic to Madagascar.[1] They are mostly brown frogs that typically live among leaf litter. S. contumelia has a snout–vent length of about 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in), making it one of the world's smallest frogs, and several others in the genus are only slightly larger.[2][3] The largest species is no more than 28 mm (1.1 in).[2]
