Glyphoglossus is a genus of frogs in the family Microhylidae. The genus occurs in Southeastern Asia. Common name balloon frogs has been coined for it, whereas the common name squat frogs refers to the Calluella species that are now included in this genus.

It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, swamps, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and degradation.
The Larut Hills rice frog 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. 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.
Nanohyla marmorata is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Laos and Vietnam. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.
Nanohyla nanapollexa is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae also known as the no-thumb pigmy frog. It is endemic to Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rivers. It is considered data deficient by the IUCN Red List.
Nanohyla petrigena is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in northern and central Borneo and in the Sulu Archipelago of the Philippines. The common names pothole narrow-mouthed frog and Kapit rice frog have been coined for the species.
The spotted rubber frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Namibia, Zambia, possibly Botswana, possibly Tanzania, and possibly Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, intermittent freshwater lakes, and intermittent freshwater marshes.
The marbled rubber frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae.
The banded rubber frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in central and southern Africa. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, subtropical or tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, intermittent freshwater lakes, intermittent freshwater marshes, arable land, pastureland, water storage areas, ponds, and canals and ditches. The female can reach a maximum size of 65 mm whereas the tadpoles can reach a size of 37 mm. The maximum size of the male is yet unknown, but sizes differ from 45 mm to 68 mm.
Phrynomantis microps, the Accra snake-necked frog, red rubber frog or West African rubber frog, is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in central and western sub-Saharan Africa. Phrynomantis microps is a medium-sized frog with an elongated and depressed body.
