Leptobrachella is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. Members of Leptobrachella are found throughout Asia including on Borneo and the Natuna Islands. They are sometimes referred to as Borneo frogs, slender-armed frogs, or dwarf litter frogs. The genus contains over 80 species with 25 found in China alone.
Eastern spadefoot toads comprise a genus of the family Megophryidae in the order Anura, and are found in southern China, northeast India, southeast Asia, and islands of the Sunda Shelf as well as the Philippines. They are characterized by a stocky body with slender, short hindlimbs. In identifying species, iris colour is a valuable diagnostic morphological characteristic ; the iris has uniform colour in some species, whereas in other species the upper half is coloured and the lower half is dark.
The Rhacophorinae are a subfamily of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. They range from tropical Africa and Asia to temperate China and Japan.
Nanorana is a genus of dicroglossid frogs. They are found in Asia, from the Himalayan region of northern Pakistan and northern India, Nepal, and western China east to montane southern China and southeast to Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and northern Vietnam. Common names of these frogs reflect the complex taxonomic history of the genus and include Yunnan slow frogs and High Himalaya frogs.
Leptolalax is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They are sometimes known as Asian toads, metacarpal-tubercled toads, or slender litter frogs, although many species-specific common names do not follow these conventions, and many species do not have common names. They are widely distributed in southeastern and eastern Asia, from southern China and northeastern India to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. Leptolalax are typically small and have a cryptic colour pattern and no obvious morphological characters useful in systematic studies. Consequently, both molecular genetic analyses and analysis of advertisement calls by male frogs have been important in identifying new species.
Megophrys is a genus of frogs in the family Megophryidae. They occur in the mainland Southeastern Asia, the islands of the Sunda Shelf, and the Philippines. They commonly have elongated upper "eyebrows" and are thus known as Asian horned frogs.
Brachytarsophrys carinense is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae. It is now understood to include Brachytarsophrys platyparietus of China. Defined this way, its distribution area includes southern Myanmar and the adjacent Thailand and southern China.
Brachytarsophrys feae is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is found in southern China and northern Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam; it is likely to occur in Laos. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
Brachytarsophrys intermedia is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae. It is found in the Central Highlands of southern Vietnam, Laos, and possibly Cambodia. This species might be a synonym of Brachytarsophrys carinense.
Oreolalax is a genus of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. They are mostly endemic to southwestern China, with one species in northern Vietnam, and possibly extending into adjacent Laos. There is also a population in Arunachal Pradesh that has not yet been assigned to a species, although it might rather be a Scutiger.
Scutiger is a genus of toads in the family Megophryidae. Common name lazy toads has been coined for them. They occur in China, Burma, Nepal, and northern India in high-altitude habitats. Most are endemic to China.
Xenophrys is a genus of amphibians in the family Megophryidae. They are found in southeastern Asia to Borneo. The genus has been found to be strongly polyphyletic, and awaiting a better solution, they have been included in the genus Megophrys. For the moment being, they are listed under their old genus in Wikipedia.
Buergeria is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, and the sole genus of subfamily Buergeriinae. They are the sister taxon for all the other rhacophorids. This position is firmly supported by the available evidence.
Rhacophorus lateralis is an endangered rhacophorid tree frog endemic to the Western Ghats in South India. It has several common names: small tree frog, Boulenger's tree frog, small gliding frog, and winged gliding frog. After its original description in 1883 by George Albert Boulenger, the frog was rediscovered in Coorg in 2000 and has since been found in many parts of the Western Ghats around southern Karnataka and northern Kerala. Along with R. malabaricus, it is one of the few anuran amphibians in India that constructs its nest above the ground using leaves.
Chalcorana is a genus of frogs in the family Ranidae, "true frogs". They are found in Southeast Asia, from Thailand to Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands.
Gracixalus is a genus of shrub frogs from south-eastern Asia.
Liuixalus is a small genus of rhacophorid frogs that are distributed in southern China. Some species now in Liuixalus were originally placed in Philautus. There is no diagnostic morphological characters to define the genus. Instead, the genus was erected based on molecular genetic evidence showing distinctness of Liuixalus romeri from the rest of Chiromantis. The genus name commemorates Liu Chengzhao, a Chinese herpetologist.
Megophrys cheni is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to the middle Luoxiao Mountains at the border of Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in south-eastern China. Its specific name honours Chen Chunquan, former director of the Jinggang National Nature Reserve.
Scutiger wuguanfui is a species of toad in the family Megophryidae. It is endemic to Tibet and only known from its type locality in the Medog County. The specific name wuguanfui honours Wu Guanfu, a Chinese herpetologist. Common names Wu's lazy toad, Medog lazy toad and Medog cat-eyed toad have been coined for it.
Brachytarsophrys orientalis, the Oriental short-legged toad, is a species of litter frog in the family Megophryidae. It is native to Jiangxi and Fujian in southeastern China. It is the easternmost species within the genus Brachytarsophrys, hence the specific name orientalis.
