Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh (; , 'Northern Province') is a state in northern India. With over 200 million inhabitants, it is the most populated state in India as well as the most populous country subdivision in the world. It was established in 1950 after India had become a republic. It was a successor to the United Provinces (UP) during the period of the Dominion of India (1947–1950), which in turn was a successor to the United Provinces (UP) established in 1935, and eventually of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh established in 1902 during the British Raj. The state is divided into 18 divisions and 75 districts, with the state capital being Lucknow, and Prayagraj serving as the judicial capital.

Indian Tree Frog
''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 from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...
