The eastern narrow-mouthed toad (''Gastrophryne carolinensis'') is a species of microhylid frog. It is a relatively small, toad-like amphibian found in damp, shady habitats. The species is highly fossorial, and feeds primarily on ants. These North American microhylids (Family: Microhylidae) are distinguished from true toads (genus ''Bufo''), and other anurans by their moist, smooth skin, their lack of eardrums or tympana, their distinguishable squat body shape, and the unique fold of skin superior to their eyes.〔Anonymous, ("Gastrophryne Carolinensis, Illinois Natural History Survey" ), Illinois Natural History Survey – University of Illinois, 28 Oct. 2008〕 It is found in the United States, from southern Maryland to the Florida Keys, west to Missouri and Texas. While not a true toad, it is so called because it is terrestrial. ==Taxonomy== ''Gastrophryne carolinensis'' belongs to one of the largest anuran families, the microhylids. No subspecies are currently recognized.
