Theloderma
''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. They are medium to small-sized frogs with maximum snout–vent lengths that range from depending on species, and their skin can be smooth, warty or tuberculated. The genus includes species that are contrastingly marked, but most are very well-camouflaged, resembling plant material (typically bark or moss) or bird droppings. Little is known about their behavior, but they feed on small arthropods. In species where known, breeding takes place in a small water pool in a cavity of a tree, bamboo or karst. The female places 4–20 eggs just above the water. After about one to two weeks they hatch into tadpoles that d ...

''Theloderma corticale'' (common names: mossy frog, Vietnamese mossy frog, Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog, and or the formerly recognized ''Theloderma kwangsiense''Kwangsi warty treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northern Vietnam, south–central Laos, and southern China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan). Description The common name "mossy frog" arises from the fact that its skin is a mottled green and brown that resembles moss growing on rock, and forms an effective form of camouflage. They have large sticky pads on their toes and a soft underbelly. They measure about in snout–vent length. The females will grow larger than the males and can reach sizes of .

''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 (Tibet, possibly more widely), 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 Peninsular Malaysia ( ms, Semenanjung Malaysia; Jawi: سمننجڠ مليسيا), or the States of Malaya ( ms, Negeri-negeri Tanah Melayu; Jawi: نڬري-نڬري تانه ملايو), also known as West Malaysia or the Malaysian Peninsula, ....

Theloderma Leporosum
''Theloderma leporosum'' (Malaya bug-eyed frog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra (Indonesia). ''Theloderma leporosum'' inhabits evergreen lowland and montane rainforests. In Malaysia they inhabit primary and old secondary forests at high elevations. Ongoing habitat loss due to logging is a threat to this species. ''Theloderma leporosum'' is the largest and most elusive of the four ''Theloderma'' species in Peninsular Malaysia. They grow to snout–vent length of 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.

Theloderma Moloch
''Theloderma moloch'' is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh and Assam) 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 moloch'' is an arboreal frog associated with tropical forest and shrubland. Breeding takes presumably place in ponds. Its habitat is threatened by wood collection.
