Gracixalus quangi is a species of bush frog endemic to Vietnam, Laos, and China, where it has been observed between 550 and 1300 meters above sea level. [2] [3] [1]
This frog is smaller than most rhacophorids. The adult male measures 21.4 - 24.5 mm in snout-vent length and the adult female 26.8 - 27.3 mm. The frog's body is flat in shape with a triangular snout. The feet have disks on the toes for climbing. Only the hind feet are webbed. The skin of the dorsum is translucent dark green in color with some opaque yellow on the legs. There is some translucent light green on the legs. There are brown spots on the sides of the body and ventral surfaces of the hind legs. There is a dark brown intraorbital mark behind the eyelids. There is turquoise blue coloration on the supratympaic fold. The webbed skin is black in color. The iris of the eye is bronze in color with black reticulations. [3]
This frog lives in lowland and montaine rainforests. The female lays eggs on plants over muddy water. The eggs are cream-colored and covered in gel. When the eggs hatch, the tadpoles fall into the water. [1] [3]
Scientists believe this frog is at least concern of extinction, but it does face some threat from habitat loss associated with human habitation, farming, and logging. [1] Its range includes at least one protected park: Pu Hoat Proposed Nature Reserve in Veitnam, and it is suspected in Xuan Lien Nature Reserve and Pu Huong Nature Reserve in Laos. [3]
Theloderma, the bug-eyed frogs, mossy frogs or warty frogs, is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. They are found from northeastern India and southern China, through Southeast Asia, to the Greater Sunda Islands; the highest species richness is in Indochina. Some species, especially T. corticale, are sometimes kept in captivity.
Amolops cremnobatus is a species of frogs in the family Ranidae. It is found in north-central Laos and Vietnam. Its range might extend into Thailand. The specific name cremnobatus is derived from Greek kremnobates, meaning "frequenter of steep places", and refers to the steep waterfall from which the type series were collected. Common name Lao sucker frog has been coined for it.
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.
Leptolalax croceus is a species of toad in the family Megophryidae. Discovered in the Central Vietnam in 2010, it is endemic to the region as it is only known from its type locality, Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve in Đắk Glei District, Kon Tum Province. However, given the vicinity of the border to Laos it is also likely to be found there. Its belly has light orange color, which is unique among Leptolalax. It is a medium-sized species within its genus: snout-vent length of 16 males was in the range 22–27 mm (0.87–1.06 in). The species was found from evergreen forest at about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) elevation.
Vampyrius vampyrus is a medium-sized species of flying frogs endemic to Vietnam. It is found in southern Vietnam, and is not known to be found in other places globally. It Is in the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, and class Amphibia. Along with this, it is in the order Anura, family Rhacophoridae, and it is the only member of the genus Vampyrus. It is also known as the vampire tree frog or the vampire flying frog because of the presence of a pair of fang-like hooks in the mouth of the tadpoles.
Theloderma nebulosum, the misty moss frog, is a species of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to central Vietnam and currently only known from Ngọc Linh Nature Reserve in the Kon Tum Province. Only one female and a series of tadpoles collected in 2009–2010 are known. This species, together with Theloderma palliatum, was described by Australian and Vietnamese scientists in 2011.
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.
