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".
Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs. They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. Over 40 species are currently recognised.
Polypedates is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, the shrub frogs and Paleotropic tree frogs. They belong to subfamily Rhacophorinae. Members of this genus are collectively known as whipping frogs. They occur in eastern and southern Asia.
Wallace's flying frog, also known as the gliding frog or the Abah River flying frog, is a moss frog found at least from the Malay Peninsula into western Indonesia, and is present in Borneo and Sumatra. It is named for the biologist, Alfred R. Wallace, who collected the first known specimen.
The frilled tree frog, rough-armed tree frog, or Southeast Asian tree frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical swamps, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, rivers, swamps, freshwater marshes, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
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 lateralis is a rhacophorid tree frog endemic to the Western Ghats in South India. It has several common names: small tree frog, Boulenger's tree frog, small gliding frog, and winged gliding frog. After its original description in 1883 by George Albert Boulenger, the frog was rediscovered in Coorg in 2000 and has since been found in many parts of the Western Ghats around southern Karnataka and northern Kerala. Along with R. malabaricus, it is one of the few anuran amphibians in India that constructs its nest above the ground using leaves.
Zhangixalus smaragdinus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in southwestern China, north-eastern India, Nepal, western Thailand, and northern Vietnam, and possibly in Bangladesh.
Rhacophorus pseudomalabaricus, also known as Anaimalai flying frog, false Malabar gliding frog, and false Malabar tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to the Anaimalai Hills, a part of the southern the Western Ghats in the Tamil Nadu and Kerala states, India.
Rhacophorus translineatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in eastern Tibet (China) and in Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India.
Rhacophorus tuberculatus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in eastern and northeastern India and southeastern Tibet, China. It is known from tropical moist forests and bamboo forests. Breeding has been observed from bushes near to small forest ponds. It may hide in bamboo stems during the day. The species is threatened by habitat loss.
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.
Raorchestes manipurensis or Leimatak's bush frog is a species of frog of the genus Raorchestes found around the Tumzane river near Leimatak, Churachandpur district in the state of Manipur in India. The species was discovered in 2008 and is named after "Leimatek" in Manipur, its type locality.
Polypedates subansiriensis is a species of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Northeast India and only known from its type locality, Soro village in the eponymous Lower Subansiri District, Arunachal Pradesh state. It is sometimes known as the Subansiri's tree frog or Subansiri tree frog.
Rhacophorus hoabinhensis, the Hoa Binh tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality: Hang Kia–Pa Co Nature Reserve, 1350 meters above sea level.
Rhacophorus indonesiensis is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It has been observed in Sumatra in India.
Rhacophorus laoshan, the Laoshan tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. Scientists know it from the type locality: 1389 meters above sea level in Cenwangloashan Nature Reserve in China.
Rhacophorus spelaeus, the cave-dwelling tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. Scientists know it exclusively from the type locality, a limestone cave in Laos, 140 meters above sea level.
Rhacophorus norhayatii, the orange-sided whipping frog, Norhayati's gliding frog, or Wallace's orange-sided tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It has been observed in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, though scientists believe the Sumatran population may be another closely related specie.
