Zhangixalus Faritsalhadii
''Zhangixalus'' is a genus of frogs in the subfamily Rhacophorinae, family (biology), family Rhacophoridae. They are collectively known as Zhang's treefrogs. They occur in the Eastern Himalayas, southern China, Taiwan, Japan, and southeast Asia. Etymology The name of the genus honors Zhang Ya-Ping from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in recognition to his contributions to biodiversity and evolution research in China, in combination with ''ixalus'', a common generic root for treefrogs. Taxonomy ''Zhangixalus'' was erected in a 2019 revision of the then very large genus ''Rhacophorus'' (92 species) that was split in three lineages: ''Rhacophorus'' sensu stricto (then 39 species; as of November 2021, 43 species), resurrected ''Leptomantis'' (then 14 species; as of November 2021, 13 species), and ''Zhangixalus'' (then 37 species; as of November 2021, 40 species). The split was based on molecular data, but was supported by morphological characteristics and differences in geographic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zhangixalus Prominanus
The Malayan flying frog (''Zhangixalus prominanus'') is a species of frog in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. This is a largish flying frog, with females growing to a body length of up to 7.6 cm (about 3 in), and males reaching up to 6.2 cm in body length.

Zhangixalus Franki
''Zhangixalus franki'', or Frank's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It has been reported in China, in Yunnan Province, and in northern Vietnam, between 1320 and 1360 m above sea level. The adult male frog measures approximately 77.9–85.8 mm in snout-vent length. This frog has been observed near small ponds in undisturbed evergreen forests between 1320 and 1680 meters above sea level.

Zhangixalus Feae
''Zhangixalus feae'' is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southwestern Yunnan (China), northern Laos, northern and central highlands of Vietnam, northern Thailand, and Myanmar. The specific name ''feae'' honors Leonardo Fea, an Italian explorer, zoologist, and naturalist. Its natural habitats are closed-canopy evergreen rainforests, but it can adapt to human presence. It has been observed between 600 and 1400 meters above sea level. The frog's range includes protected parks: Hoang Lien National Park, Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve, and Phou Dendin National Biodiversity Conservation Area. This frog is threatened by habitat loss associated with road and infrastructure construction and tourism. People occasionally collect this frog to eat or to keep and breed for the pet trade, but it is unclear if this still poses a threat.
