Chirixalus punctatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Myanmar. [1]
It was given the common name of Myanmar spotted treefrog when it was first described in 2003 on the basis of an adult male frog collected at the headquarters of the Rakhine Yoma Elephant Range. [2] [3]
The Myanmar spotted treefrog is light brown in colour with dark spots on head, back and legs. Its head is round with a pointed, elevated snout and slightly protuberant nostrils. Its vocal sac is external, and it does not have vomerine teeth. Its fingers are opposable and the third finger is the longest and has the largest disk. The webbing between the third and fourth fingers is short, and absent between the other fingers. Males are smaller than females. The snout-to-vent-length of 21 male specimens ranges from 21.5 to 25 mm (0.85 to 0.98 in) and of six female specimens from 24.7 to 28.4 mm (0.97 to 1.12 in). [2]
Individuals were found in disturbed habitat between mountain evergreen forests and agricultural land, 1-2m above the ground in bushes. This species may be restricted to remaining secondary habitat in Rakhine as remnant populations, or (as with other Chirixalus species in Myanmar) they might prefer degraded habitats. Animals were not found in evergreen forests. The eggs are deposited in foam nests, in particular on plants of the genus Arum, hanging over standing water. The larvae presumably develop in the water.

Chirixalus is a genus of frogs in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). Formerly used to classify Asian species of Chiromantis and later synonymized with that genus, it was removed from synonymy and resurrected in 2020.
Duttaphrynus crocus is a species of toads in the family Bufonidae endemic to the Rakhine State, Myanmar. Its natural habitat is primary evergreen forest. It is threatened by habitat loss (logging).
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.
Chirixalus doriae, commonly known as Doria's Asian treefrog, Doria's bush frog, Doria's bush frog, and Doria's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southeastern Asia, from extreme northeastern India and adjacent Bangladesh to Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and southern China.
Chirixalus nongkhorensis, also known as the Nongkhor Asian treefrog, Nongkhor pigmy tree frog, Nong Khor bushfrog, and Nongkhor foam-nest treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in north-eastern India (Assam), Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Peninsular Malaysia.
Chirixalus simus, commonly known as Assam Asian frog, Assam tree frog, Annandale's tree frog, and Annandale's pigmy tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in Bangladesh and north-eastern India. Among other places, it has been recorded from Rajpur in the South 24 Parganas district and in the Darrang district of Assam.
Chiromantis petersii is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Kenya and Tanzania and is broadly distributed in the inland areas of both countries. Chiromantis kelleri was previously considered subspecies of Chiromantis petersii, but is currently recognized as a distinct species. These two species are sympatric in northern Kenya.
Nyctixalus pictus, also known as cinnamon frog, cinnamon treefrog, cinnamon bush frog, painted Indonesian treefrog, and white-spotted treefrog, etc., is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, and parts of the Greater Sunda Islands.
Raorchestes parvulus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found from eastern Bangladesh east through Myanmar and Thailand to Cambodia, northern Vietnam, Laos, and Peninsular Malaysia. Its distribution might well extend into northeastern India and southern China. This species was first described by George Albert Boulenger based on seven specimens collected by Leonardo Fea from Karen Hills, Burma.
Polypedates colletti is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the Malay Peninsula, southern Vietnam, Borneo, Sumatra, and islands of the South China Sea.
Zhangixalus arvalis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to western and southwestern Taiwan and is present in agricultural areas of Chiayi, Yunlin, and Tainan Counties. Common name farmland green treefrog has been coined for it.
Zhangixalus aurantiventris is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Taiwan. It is known from scattered localities across Taiwan at low to mid altitudes.
Rhacophorus bipunctatus is a frog species in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae) found from eastern India into Southeast Asia, possibly to southeastern China and south to Malaysia. Due to the identification problems surrounding this species, the eastern and southern limits of its range remain undetermined; all that is known is that the species certainly occurs in the border region of India, Bangladesh, China and Myanmar; its range might extend south to Malaysia, as similar frogs have been reported from Pahang.
Rhacophorus rhodopus is a species of frog in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It occurs in south-eastern Asia, from India to southern China, and south to Malaysia. Previously unknown from Laos, it has now been found in Phongsali Province and at Luang Prabang. Its taxonomy is disputed.
Theloderma phrynoderma is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Myanmar and known from two widely separated localities: Thao, its type locality in the Karen Hills in south-central Myanmar where it was collected by Leonardo Fea in 1888, and the Tanintharyi Nature Reserve in southern Myanmar near the Thai border where it was collected in 2009–2010. Common name Burmese bug-eyed frog has been coined for it.
Theloderma palliatum is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam and so far only known from the Bidoup Núi Bà and Chư Yang Sin National Parks. This species, together with Theloderma nebulosum, was first found by Australian and Vietnamese scientists in Tay Nguyen in 2011.
Gracixalus medogensis, also known as the Medog bubble-nest frog or Medog small treefrog, is a species of shrub frog, family Rhacophoridae. As currently known, it is endemic to the Mêdog County in southern Tibet, although its distribution might extend into the adjacent Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India.

This recently (2013) described species is endemic to Malaysian Borneo where it is known from its type locality in the Maliau Basin Conservation Area, Sandakan Division, Sabah as well as from the Batang Ai National Park, Sarawak. Prior to its description, it was included in Rhacophorus reinwardtii. It is said to be "one of the prettiest frogs of Borneo". Common name Borneo flying frog has been coined for it.
