Polypedates
''Polypedates'' is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, the shrub frogs and Paleotropic tree frogs. They belong to subfamily Rhacophorinae. Members of this genus are collectively known as whipping frogs. They occur in eastern and southern Asia. The delimitation of ''Polypedates'' versus the related ''Rhacophorus'' has been difficult. In former times, the present genus was often entirely included in ''Rhacophorus''. However, molecular phylogenetic studies support the recognition of both genera. ''Polypedates'' + '' Taruga'' are considered to be the sister taxon of '' Feihyla'' + ''Rhacophorus''. Species The following species are recognised in the genus ''Polypedates'', with new species still being described on a regular basis: * '' Polypedates assamensis'' Mathew & Sen, 2009 * '' Polypedates bengalensis'' Purkayastha et al., 2019 * '' Polypedates braueri'' (Vogt, 1911) – White-lipped treefrog or Java treefrog * '' Polypedates colletti'' (Boulenger, 1890) – Colle ...

Polypedates Macrotis
''Polypedates macrotis'', commonly known as the dark-eared treefrog, sometimes also Bongao tree frog, Bongao bubble-nest frog, Baram whipping frog, or brown-striped tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in the central peninsular Thailand (requiring confirmation), Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulu Archipelago as well as a range of other Philippine islands (Palawan, Busuanga, Calauit, Jolo, and Dumaran). "Bongao" in the common name refers to Bongao Island, the type locality of ''Philautus montanus'', now synonymized with ''Polypedates macrotis''. On the other hand, "Baram", a district in Sarawak, is the type locality of ''Polypedates macrotis''. Description Male ''Polypedates macrotis'' grow to a snout–vent length of about and females to . Tadpoles are up to in length. Dorsum is brown with a darker band behind the eye that covers the tympanum, tapering along the side.

Polypedates Maculatus
''Polypedates maculatus'', the Indian tree frog, or Chunam tree frog, is a common species of tree frog found in South Asia. It was described by John Edward Gray in 1830. Although now considered as a separate species again, for a time, the Himalayan tree frog was considered as a subspecies of the Indian tree frog (as ''P. m. himalayensis''). '' Polypedates leucomystax'', a very similar species, was formerly included in ''P. maculatus''. Description These frogs measure about 7–8 cm in body length. They are mostly brownish, yellowish, greyish, or whitish above, with darker spots or markings, rarely with an hourglass-shaped figure on the back of the head and the front of the back. The loreal and temporal regions are dark; there is a light line on the upper lip. The hind side of the thighs has round, yellow spots, which are usually separated by a dark-brown or purplish network. The skin is smooth above, and granulated on the belly and under the thighs; a fold extends fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Polypedates Megacephalus
''Polypedates megacephalus'', the Hong Kong whipping frog or spot-legged tree frog, is a species in the shrub frog family (Rhacophoridae). In its native range, it is also called "brown tree frog", but this name is otherwise applied to a species of the true tree frog family (Hylidae). Distribution and ecology This species is native in central, southern and southwestern China (including Hong Kong and Hainan) and Indo-China peninsula. It is closely related to ''Polypedates leucomystax'' and always included in ''P. leucomystex'' species complex, along with '' P. mutus'' and ''P''. ''braueri''. Previously, ''P. megacephalus'' was thought to distribute above the Red River of Vietnam and in Northeast India, while ''P. leucomystex'' was generally found south of the Red River and in western Yunnan. However, recent genetic studies revealed that the natural barriers between these species are the Isthmus of Kra and the Tenasserim Range, where ''P. megacephalus'' can be found above the is ...

Polypedates Mutus
''Polypedates mutus'' (common names: northern treefrog, Burmese whipping frog, and vocal sacless treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southern and southwestern China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. However, it may actually represent two different species. It is not known which one of these is the "true" ''Polypedates mutus'' as specimens from the type locality in northern Myanmar have not been analysed. Its natural habitats are forests and the surrounding areas. It breeds in standing water (e.g., pools, ponds, marshes, and paddy fields). It is suffering from habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... References mutus Amphibians of China Amphibians of Laos Amphibians of Myanmar Amphibians of Thailand Amph ...
