Microhyla heymonsi, also known as the dark-sided chorus frog or the Taiwan rice frog, is a species of narrow-mouthed frog found in northeastern India, southern China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia south to the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra as well as the Great Nicobar Island.^[1]^[2] It was originally described from Taiwan.^[2]

As microhylids in general, Microhyla heymonsi is a small frog: males reach 16–21 mm (0.6–0.8 in) and females 22–26 mm (0.9–1.0 in) in snout-vent length. The dorsal colour is pinkish or greyish above with a black lateral band extending from the snout tip to the groin and entirely covering the sides of the head.^[3] It inhabits a variety of disturbed areas as well as secondary vegetation. It breeds in temporary rain puddles, paddy fields, ditches, marshes and slow-flowing streams.^[1]
