Short description: Species of amphibian
The Larut Hills rice frog (Nanohyla annectens) is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia; records from Thailand and elsewhere probably refer to other species.[1] Its natural habitats are evergreen submontane and montane rainforests. It lives on the forest floor and in puddles and breeds in temporary pools. It is locally threatened by habitat loss.[2]

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]
