Kurixalus chaseni, the frilled tree frog or Malay frilled tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, [2] [3] where it has been observed between 0 and 500 meters above sea level. [1]

This frog has been found in forests primary forest and long-growing secondary forest. This frog is known in swampy areas with water stagnant water. Scientists believe this frog can tolerate some level of habitat disturbance. It has been seen by roadsides. [1]

Scientists classify this frog as at least concern of extinction because of its large range, which includes protected parks, and presumed large population. What threat it faces comes from habitat loss associated with deforestation associated with forest concession and palm oil cultivation [1]

<i>Kurixalus</i> Genus of amphibians

Kurixalus is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. The taxonomy of small rhacophids is difficult and has been subject to many revisions, but molecular genetic data do support monophyly of Kurixalus. These frogs are distributed from Himalayan front ranges of eastern India southward and eastward to Cambodia, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands.

<i>Theloderma asperum</i> Species of amphibian

Theloderma asperum is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is also known as the pied warty frog, hill garden bug-eyed frog, or somewhat informally, bird poop frog. The frog can be found in the northeastern India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma, China, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam as well as Sumatra in Indonesia. However, because of confusion with Theloderma albopunctatum and Theloderma baibungense, it is known with certainty from its type locality in Peninsular Malaysia.
