Judul: Hubungan Filogenetik Micryletta inornata (Boulenger, 1890) Berdasarkan Gen 16S rRNA
Abstrak: Tiga spesies dari famili Microhylidae yang berasal dari genus Micryletta sejauh ini diakui: M. inornata, M. steinegeri and M. erythropoda. M. inornata merupakan tipe dari genus ini dan memiliki distribusi yang luas dari Cina selatan, Indochina ke Sundaland (Semenanjung Melayu dan Sumatera). Micryletta inornata pertama kali ditemukan di Sumatera oleh Boulenger pada tahun 1890. Semenjak dideskripsikan pertama kali, belum ada informasi tentang spesies ini di Sumatera. Saya menghitung morfologi beberapa spesimen yang berasal dari Sumatera dengan deskripsi asli dari M. inornata. Penelitian ini menggambarkan spesies berdasarkan spesimen voucher dan mengevaluasi status taksonomi menggunakan data molekuler dari gen 16S rRNA. Kami memperkirakan hubungan filogenetik menggunakan metode Bayesian (BI), Maximum Likelihood (ML), Neighbour Joining (NJ) dan Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). Hasilnya menunjukan bahwa genus Micryletta monofiletik terhadap genus lain (Microhyla, Phrynella, Kalophrynus) dalam famili Microhylidae. Monofiletik grup terbagi menjadi 2 kelompok. Kelompok A terdiri dari 5 subkelompok, diwakili oleh populasi M. inornata dari Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Micryletta steinegeri from Taiwan. Kelompok B terdiri atas populasi Micryletta inornata dari Medan and Aceh (Sumatera), menggambarkan topotipe dari spesies ini. Penelitian ini memastikan bahwa secara morfologi spesies ini teridentifikasi sebagai M. inornata dan terdiri dari beberapa taksa yang berbeda yang perlu diperjelas statusnya di masa yang akan datang.
