Theloderma leporosum (Malaya bug-eyed frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra (Indonesia). [2]
Theloderma leporosum inhabits evergreen lowland and montane rainforests. [1] In Malaysia they inhabit primary and old secondary forests at high elevations. [3] Ongoing habitat loss due to logging and agriculture is a threat to this species. [1]
Theloderma leporosum is the largest and most elusive of the four Theloderma species in Peninsular Malaysia. They grow to snout–vent length of 68 mm (2.7 in) or more. They have brown dorsum, greyish brown iris, and orangish webbing on hind feet. Underside of their body and inner side of limbs are pale-blue to white with black reticulations. [3] [4]
The frog's range includes some protected parks: Gunung Stong State Park and Sibolangit Nature Reserve. [4]
The long-nosed horned frog, also known as the Malayan horned frog or Malayan leaf frog is a species of frog restricted to the rainforest areas of southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia to Singapore, Sumatra, and Borneo. However, records from Thailand to the Sunda Shelf may apply to another, possibly unnamed species.
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.
Leptobrachium hendricksoni is a species of amphibian in the family Megophryidae. It is found in Malay Peninsula, Sarawak (Borneo), and Sumatra (Indonesia). Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, freshwater marshes, and nearby plantations and heavily degraded former forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Xenophrys aceras, commonly known as the Perak horned toad, Perak spadefoot toad or Malayan horned frog, is a species of frog in the family Megophryidae found in Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand, and possibly in Indonesia. Its common name refers to its type locality, Bukit Besar in Perak state, Malaysia.
The palmated chorus frog is a species of frog in the family Microhylidae. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, rivers, and freshwater marshes. It is not considered threatened by the IUCN.
Fejervarya pulla is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Malaysia and only known from its type locality, Penang Hill. Little is known about this species that might even belong to Hoplobatrachus instead of Fejervarya.
Limnonectes nitidus is a species of frog in the family Dicroglossidae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia where it is only known from the Cameron Highlands and Fraser's Hill, both in Pahang state.
Limnonectes tweediei is a species of frogs in the family Dicroglossidae. It is found in Sumatra (Indonesia) and the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia).
The common green frog is a frog species of in the true frog family Ranidae; some sources still use the old name Rana erythraea. It lives in Southeast Asia and is also known as green paddy frog, red-eared frog or leaf frog. The last name, however, commonly refers to the Neotropical tree frogs which make up the subfamily Phyllomedusinae. These are not closely related to H. erythraea, belonging to family Hylidae instead.
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.
The blue-spotted tree frog is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, and possibly Brunei and Myanmar.
Theloderma corticale is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northern Vietnam, south–central Laos, and southern China.
Theloderma gordoni is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is known from northern Thailand, northern Laos, and central to northern Vietnam. Common names Gordon's bug-eyed frog, Gordon's warted frog, and large warted treefrog have been coined for it.
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.
Humerana miopus, also known as the Khao Wang frog or three-striped frog, is a frog that was identified in 1918. This species is known from southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, and it is locally common.
Theloderma truongsonense, the Truong Son bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam and Laos. It has been observed between 300 and 1300 meters above sea level.
Theloderma annae, Anna's bug-eyed frog or Anna's mossy frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam. It has been observed in the Ngoc Son–Ngo Luong Nature Reserve and Cuc Phuong National Park.
Theloderma auratum, the golden bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is endemic to Vietnam and predicted in Laos. It has been recorded in montane tropical forest habitats.
