Polypedates
''Polypedates'' is a genus of frogs in the family (biology), 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 phylogenetics, molecular phylogenetic studies support the recognition of both genera. ''Polypedates'' + ''Taruga (frog), 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 * ''P ...
