Adelophryne mucronatus is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae.[1][2][3] It is endemic to the coastal areas of the Bahia state in eastern Brazil; it is known from the municipalities of Itacaré, Ilhéus, and Una.[1][2] The specific name mucronatus is derived from Latin and means "pointed", referring to the pointed fingers tips of this frog.[1]
Adult males measure 11.6–12.4 mm (0.5–0.5 in) and adult females 13.6–14.9 mm (0.5–0.6 in) in snout–vent length. The snout is rounded. The tympanum is small but distinct, including a complete annulus. The canthus rostralis is indistinct. The fingers have no webbing nor discs, but they have pointed tips. The toes have no webbing but have pointed tips; toes III and IV bear discs. Skin is smooth with scattered small granules. The dorsal coloration varies from reddish brown (with or without dark brown spots) to homogeneous bluish gray. There may be irregular dark patches, inter-orbital lines, or a mid-dorsal Y-like pattern. The iris is reddish brown to yellowish brown.[1]
