The Luzon wart frog (Fejervarya vittigera) is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to the Philippines [2] where it occurs on all the major islands. It is an abundant and common species occurring in a range of man-made habitats, such as agricultural areas, ditches, artificial ponds and lakes. It uses nearly any body of available water for breeding. [1]
Fejervarya is a genera of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae found in Asia. First proposed in 1915 by István József Bolkay, a Hungarian naturalist, the genus did not see widespread adoption at first. As late as the 1990s it was generally included in Rana, but more recent studies have confirmed its distinctness.
The crab-eating frog is a frog native to south-eastern Asia including Taiwan, China, the Philippines and more rarely as far west as Orissa in India. It has also been introduced to Guam, and was most likely introduced from Taiwan. It inhabits mangrove swamps and marshes and is one of only 144 known modern amphibians which can tolerate brief excursions into seawater.
Microhyla pulchra is a species of narrow-mouthed frog found in northeastern India, southern China, and Southeast Asia south to at least Thailand but possibly as far south as Malaysia and Singapore. It has also been introduced to Guam.
Minervarya andamanensis, commonly known as the Andaman frog, chestnut-brown frog, or Andaman wart frog is a species of frog only found in the Andaman Islands, India. It has been regarded as a synonym of Limnonectes limnocharis, but is now considered a valid species. A related, unnamed species exists in western Thailand.
Minervarya greenii is a species of frog that is endemic to the hills of central Sri Lanka. It lives in wetland habitats within montane tropical moist forests. It is threatened by habitat loss, pollution, desiccation of wetlands, forest fires as well as predation by introduced rainbow trout.
Minervarya nicobariensis, the Nicobar frog or Nicobar cricket-frog, is a species of frog endemic to the Nicobar Islands of India. In the past it has been considered to be the same species as Fejervarya andamanensis from the neighbouring Andaman Islands, but is now regarded a valid species. It is restricted to the central and northern group of Nicobar Islands. It is relatively common in suitable habitat, particularly on Car Nicobar island. Its preferred habitat are grasslands, where the species breeds in the rainwater puddles. On Car Nicobar, it also occurs coastal wetlands and along newly cleared forest trails.
Fejervarya orissaensis is a species of frog that is endemic to Orissa state in eastern India. Similar frogs, however, have been found in southwestern Thailand, and it is possible that Fejervarya orissaensis exists as a single species or cryptic species complex all way from Orissa through Myanmar to Thailand.
The greenhouse frog is a species of frog in the family Eleutherodactylidae, native to Cuba, the Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands, and it has been introduced to other areas, such as Florida, Hawaii, Guam, Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

Fejervarya pulla is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Malaysia and only known from its type locality, Penang Hill. LIttle is known about this species that might even belong to Hoplobatrachus instead of Fejervarya.

The fanged river frog, Javan giant frog, Malaya wart frog, or stone creek frog is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae endemic to Sumatra and Java, Indonesia. Records from other regions are probably caused by misidentifying other species such as Limnonectes blythii as this species.
Fejervarya triora is a species of frogs belonging to the family Dicroglossidae. Its type locality is in Phu Chong-Na Yoi National Park, Ubon Ratchathani Province in the far east of Thailand.

So far, it is only known from eastern Thailand, although it is not unlikely that it occurs in adjacent Laos too. It has been found in a range of forested habitats.
