Humerana Miopus
''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. Its dorsal colour is greyish-brown to orange-red above; the dorsolateral folds lighter. Diagonal lines on the back blackish; upper lip white; limbs with more or less distinct dark cross-bars; back of thighs marbled black and grey. References *Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient.

Humerana Oatesii
''Humerana oatesii'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is endemic to Burma. This species is only known from type series collected from "near Toungoo" in the Pegu Range. The specific name ''oatesii'' honours Eugene W. Oates, English civil servant and naturalist who collected the type series. However, the common name Toungoo frog has been proposed for it. Description The type series consists of two males and two females. The males measure and the females in snout–vent length. The head is longer than it is wide and strongly dorsoventrally compressed. The snout is pointed and long. The tympanum is very distinct. The fingers are long with poorly developed discs. The toes have very small discs and almost full webbing. Skin is dorsally finely granulate. A prominent dorsolater fold runs from the tympanum to the hip. Dorsal colouration is black (uniform or marbled with pale brown) with five whitish lengthwise streaks. The lower parts are white, possibly spotted with brow ...

Humerana Lateralis
''Humerana lateralis'' is a species of frog in the family Ranidae. It is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is commonly known as Kokarit frog, yellow frog or (ambiguously) wood frog. Placed in ''Rana'' when this was still loosely circumscribed, it was since assigned to the "water frog" genus ''Pelophylax''. However, it is not clear whether this is the most appropriate treatment, and the Kokarit frog might rather belong in ''Hylarana''. In 2015, it was classified into ''Humerana'' based on phylogenetic evidence. The supposed species ''Rana nigrolineata'' was recently determined to be a junior synonym of ''H. lateralis''. Habitat Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, moist shrubland, plantations, swamps, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, ponds, and seasonally flooded or irrigated agricultural land. It is not considered th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hylarana
''Hylarana'', commonly known as golden-backed frogs, is a genus of true frogs found in tropical Asia. It was formerly considered highly diverse, containing around 84 to 96 Valid name (zoology), valid species, but taxonomic revision resulted in a major change in the contents of the genus, and today it is recognised as containing just four species. Description ''Hylarana'' are small to large-sized frogs. Males have an average snout-vent length of , while females range from . The nares (nostrils) are oval in shape and covered by a flap of skin. The Tympanum (anatomy), tympanum is visible but is not covered by a supratympanic fold. Vomerine teeth and a Parietal eye, pineal ocellus (parietal eye) are present. The toes are webbed, but the fingers are not. Distribution Former members of the genus ''Hylarana'' ranged from Sri Lanka to the Western Ghats of India, through Nepal and southern China and Taiwan, down to Southeast Asia to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea, in Northern Austra ...

True Frogs
True frogs is the common name for the frog family Ranidae. They have the widest distribution of any frog family. They are abundant throughout most of the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica. The true frogs are present in North America, northern South America, Europe, Africa (including Madagascar), and Asia. The Asian range extends across the East Indies to New Guinea and a single species (the Australian wood frog (''Hylarana daemelii'')) has spread into the far north of Australia. Typically, true frogs are smooth and moist-skinned, with large, powerful legs and extensively webbed feet. The true frogs vary greatly in size, ranging from small—such as the wood frog (''Lithobates sylvatica'')—to large. Many of the true frogs are aquatic or live close to water. Most species lay their eggs in the water and go through a tadpole stage. However, as in most families of frogs, there is large variation of habitat within the family. There are also arboreal species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Frog
A frog is any member of a diverse and largely Carnivore, carnivorous group of short-bodied, tailless amphibians composing the order (biology), order Anura (ανοὐρά, literally ''without tail'' in Ancient Greek). The oldest fossil "proto-frog" ''Triadobatrachus'' is known from the Early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock, molecular clock dating suggests their split from other amphibians may extend further back to the Permian, 265 Myr, million years ago. Frogs are widely distributed, ranging from the tropics to subarctic regions, but the greatest concentration of species diversity is in tropical rainforest. Frogs account for around 88% of extant amphibian species. They are also one of the five most diverse vertebrate orders. Warty frog species tend to be called toads, but the distinction between frogs and toads is informal, not from Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy or evolutionary history. An adult frog has a stout body, protruding eyes, anteriorly-attached tongue, limb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
