顧名思義,姬蛙大都體型嬌小。雖然有些種類的姬蛙身長會達到9公分(3.5英寸),但多數身長少於1.5公分(0.59英寸)。[1]有些姬蛙樹棲,有些則陸棲,更有一些可以近水生活。在雨林中的亂葉下可以找到陸棲的姬蛙,它們偶然在夜晚冒險出外覓食。姬蛙通常有兩種形態,一種是狹口體寬,另一種與普通青蛙形態一樣勻稱。那些嘴巴狹窄的通常以白蟻和螞蟻為食,另一種的食性與普通青蛙無異。短頭蛙亞科的青蛙會挖地洞及尋找地下水,可在非洲不毛之地例如南非及附近國家找到。其下有些物種甚至會把它們的卵產於地下。
新幾內亞和澳大利亞的姬蛙完全沒有蝌蚪時期,直接從卵中孵化出青蛙。樹棲的品種因此可以在樹上產卵,無須冒險到地上產卵。某些確實有蝌蚪時期的,這些品種也沒有如其他品種的尖嘴。[1].
姬蛙頭顱有一對上額骨和額頂骨。在聽囊處,面神經連通聽覺小孔,三叉神經和面神經中樞交匯形成耳前神經中樞。姬蛙有七至八塊骶骨,除了在尾骶骨前表面的為兩面凹外,其他都是雙平型脊椎。姬蛙胸帶屬固胸型,有些則有退化的鎖骨和腹部氣囊。末端趾骨變生硬或變尖或變成T型。蝌蚪缺乏角質化的口部並有一大通氣孔。[2]
青蛙自姬蛙起就遍及北美洲、南美洲、非洲、東印度、斯理蘭卡、南非、東南亞、新幾內亞和澳大利亞的熱帶和暖溫地區。儘管姬蛙大多分佈於熱帶或亞熱帶,但仍有一些品種可在乾旱地區生存。它們大多在新幾內亞、南非及馬達加斯加等地。
