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 ''Theloderma corticale, 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Theloderma Corticale
''Theloderma corticale'' (common names: mossy frog, Vietnamese mossy frog, Tonkin bug-eyed frog, moss bug-eyed frog, and [for the formerly recognized ''Theloderma kwangsiense''] Kwangsi warty treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is now known to be 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 crypsis, 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 . This species will curl into a ball when frightened, and play dead.

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 and agriculture is a threat to this species. ''Theloderma leporosum'' is the largest and most elusive of the four ''Theloderma'' species in Peninsular Malaysia.

Theloderma Moloch
''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 (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. Scientists believe that breeding takes place in ponds surrounded by shrubs. This frog has been observed between 300 and 1500 meters above sea level. The IUCN classifies this frog as at least concern of extinction because of its large range. Upcoming hydroelectric dam projects may alter the hydrology of the area in ways that threaten the frogs. Subsistence logging may also pose some threat. Th ...

Theloderma Gordoni
''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.

Breeding takes place in water-filled tree holes and karst depressions where the tadpoles develop. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease .... It is also collected for the pet trade. It occurs in the Doi Suthep–Pui National Park in Thailand and in a number of protected areas in Vietnam. References gordoni Amphibians of Laos Amphibians of Thailand Amphibians of Vie ...
