Polypedates Discantus
''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) – Collett's ...

Brown Tree Frog
The southern brown tree frog (''Litoria ewingii''), also known as the brown tree frog, whistling tree frog, or Ewing's tree frog, is a species of tree frog native to Australia: most of southern Victoria, eastern South Australia, southern New South Wales from about Ulladulla—although this species is reported to occur further north—and throughout Tasmania including the Bass Strait Islands, in which state it is the most frequently encountered frog. It has been introduced to New Zealand, where it can be locally abundant. Taxonomy The southern brown tree frog was described in 1841 by French naturalists André Duméril and Gabriel Bibron. Evolution ''L. ewingi'' is one of the classic examples of speciation by reinforcement. Future research into congener hybridisation and gene flow In population genetics, gene flow (also known as gene migration or geneflow and allele flow) is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another.

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 i ...

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 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 macrotis'' is similar to ''Polypedates leucomystax'' but differs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
White-lipped Tree Frog
The white-lipped tree frog (''Nyctimystes infrafrenatus'') is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is the world's largest tree frog (the Cuban tree frog reaches a similar maximum size) and is found in Australia. Other common names include the New Guinea treefrog, giant tree frog, and Australian giant treefrog. Description The white-lipped tree frog reaches in length. Females are larger than males, and have thicker skin in correlation with the difference in body size. Its dorsal surface is usually bright green, although the colour changes depending on the temperature and background, and can be brown. The ventral surface is off-white. The lower lip has a distinctive white stripe (giving this species its name), which continues to the shoulder. The white stripes on the trailing edges of the lower leg may turn pink in the breeding male. The white-lipped tree frog has large toe pads, which aid it to climb. The toes are completely webbed, and the hands are partial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
