The Rhacophoridae are a family of frogs that occur in tropical sub-Saharan Africa, South India and Sri Lanka, Japan, northeastern India to eastern China and Taiwan, south through the Philippines and Greater Sundas, and Sulawesi. They are commonly known as shrub frogs, or more ambiguously as "moss frogs" or "bush frogs". Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs".
Leptopelis is a genus of frogs in the family Arthroleptidae. They are found throughout Sub-Saharan Africa, excluding Madagascar. It is placed in monotypic subfamily Leptopelinae, although this subfamily is not always recognized. They have a number of common names, including forest treefrogs, tree frogs, leaf-frogs, and big-eyed frogs.
Boulenophrys parva is a specie of horned frog found in South Asia, Southeast Asia, eastern India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Burma, western Thailand, southern China, northern Laos and Vietnam. Perhaps because of its wide distribution, Boulenophrys parva is known under many common names, including concave-crowned horned toad, lesser stream horned frog, mountain horned frog, brown horn frog, Burmese spadefoot toad, and small spadefoot toad. It inhabits evergreen broadleaf forests alongside streams.
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, 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.
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.
Leptolalax pelodytoides is a frog species in the family Megophryidae. It is known with reasonable certainty only from near its type locality, the Karen Hills region in the Kayah State, eastern Myanmar. As Leptolalax pelodytoides was one of the first megophryid species to be described from the region, later research has shown that many specimens that have been reported as L. pelodytoides represent other species, including Leptolalax bourreti, Leptolalax oshanensis, Leptolalax eos, and Leptolalax minimus. A consequence is that the most recent IUCN assessment reports much broader distribution for this species than what can be ascertained.
Limnonectes doriae is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae found in the Southeast Asia.
Nanorana feae is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Yunnan, China, and the Kachin Hills in Myanmar. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist. This little-known species probably inhabits hill streams in forested areas.
Hylarana garoensis, commonly known as Boulenger's Garo hill frog, Daniel's frog, Swift cascade frog, Garo's hill frog or the Mawphlang frog, is a accepted species of frog in the family Ranidae. H. garoensis' natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, subtropical or tropical high-altitude grassland, and rivers; it is found in India and possibly Bangladesh. It is threatened by habitat loss.
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.
Raorchestes annandalii is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the eastern Himalayas in India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It has been observed as high as 2700 meters above sea level. It relies on saltation to move around.
Raorchestes flaviventris is a species of arboreal, nocturnal, frog of the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Western Ghats, South India. Its common names are yellow-bellied bush frog and Malabar bubble-nest frog.
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.
Zhangixalus feae is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southwestern Yunnan (China), northern Laos, northern and central highlands of Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. The specific name feae honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist.
Kurixalus verrucosus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in Myanmar, Thailand, China, and Vietnam. In the past, it has been considered synonym of Rhacophorus appendiculatus, which, together with other confusion regarding the identity of this species, makes interpreting older literature difficult.
Philautus kempiae is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. Being only known from its type locality near Tura in the Garo Hills in Meghalaya, northeastern India, it is an Indian endemic. The specific name kempiae honours Agnes Kemp, wife of Stanley Wells Kemp, an English zoologist and anthropologist. It is known only from the type specimen, so very little is known about biology of this species. It is presumed to be a dweller of the undergrowth of moist evergreen forests.
Gracixalus is a genus of shrub frogs from south-eastern Asia.
Gracixalus quangi is a species of shrub frogs endemic to Vietnam.
Raorchestes is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Rhacophorinae that are found in mountainous regions of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and southern China. A recent study places Raorchestes as a sister taxon of Pseudophilautus. Before the description of the genus in 2010, species now in Raorchestes had been assigned to genera Ixalus, Philautus, and Pseudophilautus.
Orixalus is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. They are endemic to Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and two provinces in China: Yunnan and Guangxi. This genus is a sister taxon to Gracixalus from which it was split.
