Nanohyla annectens, the Larut Hills rice frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.

Taxonomy

The Larut Hills rice frog used to be placed in the genus Microhyla, but a 2021 study using morphological and phylogenetic evidence moved nine species (including N. annectens) to a new genus, Nanohyla.[3]
