Theloderma baibungense, the Baibung small treefrog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It lives in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Scientists found some 82 and 193 and 850 meters above sea level. [2] [3] [1]

This frog lives in wet habitats that are not too high above sea level. It lives in the forest canopy, but male individuals have been found on shrubs and weeds at night. It has not been observed in secondary forest and does not appear tolerant to clear-cutting. [1]

Scientists have not observed this frog's eggs or tadpoles, but they infer it breeds through larval development in water-filled holes in trees like other frogs in Theloderma. [1]

The IUCN classifies this frog as not in danger of dying out because of its large range. What threat it faces comes from habitat loss to build roads and logging. [1]

The frog's range includes at least one protected park: Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve. [1]

<i>Theloderma</i> Genus of amphibians

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.

Phyllodytes gyrinaethes is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae endemic to Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It has been observed as high as 710 meters above sea level.

<i>Theloderma moloch</i> Species of frog

Theloderma moloch, Assam Indonesia tree frog, Eerie tree frog, Xizang warty tree frog, or black-spotted frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northeastern India and adjacent Tibet, China, possibly wider. Taxonomic placement of this taxon has been a source of much debate, possibly because of wrong tissue was used for it in a molecular study—with ramifications for the taxonomy of whole Theloderma and its sister taxon Nyctixalus.

Theloderma petilus, the slender warted tree frog or slender bug-eyed frog, is a frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is occurs in Vietnam, where it has been observed in the Muong Nhe Nature Reserve. It is also native to Laos and Thailand. Scientists think it may live in China.

Theloderma rhododiscus is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in China and Vietnam.

<i>Raorchestes travancoricus</i> Species of frog

Raorchestes travancoricus, variously known as the Travancore bushfrog, Travancore bubble-nest frog, or Travancore tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. The species is endemic to the southern Western Ghats, India. Its specific name, travancoricus, as well as its three common names, refer to its type locality, Bodinayakkanur in the former Travancore state.

Zhangixalus duboisi is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in China and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, and heavily degraded former forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Theloderma bicolor is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae, sometimes known with common name Chapa bug-eyed frog. It is found in northwestern Vietnam from the Quang Tri Province northwards and in central and southeastern Yunnan (China). This frog has been observed between 1400 and 1800 meters above sea level.

<i>Theloderma corticale</i> Species of frog

Theloderma corticale is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northern Vietnam, south–central Laos, and southern China.

<i>Theloderma horridum</i> Species of frog

Theloderma horridum is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

Theloderma stellatum, the Taylor's bug-eyed frog, purple-spotted warted frog, spotty warted tree frog, stellar bug-eyed frog, or Chantaburi bug-eyed tree frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical periodically flooded lowland and montane forests between 0 and 1500 meters above sea level. This species deposits eggs in rain water collected in small tree holes; the tadpoles feed on the organic matter aggregated in a tannin-rich rain water. Notches aiming resin collection increase carrying capacity of the frogs providing additional breeding sites.

Theloderma licin, also known as the smooth frog and the white-backed bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae found in peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand, and Indonesia's Sumatra island. It inhabits lowland to montane forests. It can be found in water filled tree holes, bamboo cuts, or man-made objects like metal pipes.
