Polypedates maculatus, the Indian tree frog, [1] or Chunam tree frog, is a common species of tree frog found in South Asia. It was described by John Edward Gray in 1830. [2] 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). [1]
Cruziohyla craspedopus is a high-canopy frog of primary tropical lowland rainforest at elevations of 50–600 m (160–1,970 ft) above sea level. It only descends to lower branches for breeding, which takes place in fallen trees holding small water pools. However, tadpoles have also been found in small pools on the ground.
Tree frogs are members of these families or genera: Hylidae, or "true" treefrogs, occur in the temperate to tropical parts of Eurasia north of the Himalayas, Australia and the Americas. Rhacophoridae, or shrub frogs, are the treefrogs of tropical regions around the Indian Ocean: Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia east to Lydekker's line.
The painted tree frog (Tlalocohyla picta) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, freshwater marshes, intermittent freshwater marshes, pastureland, plantations, rural gardens, heavily degraded former forests, ponds, and canals and ditches.
It is known under numerous common names, including common tree frog, four-lined tree frog, golden tree frog [2] or striped tree frog. Many past authors have united it with the common Indian tree frog in P. maculatus (or Rhacophorus maculatus , as was common in older times), but today they are generally considered distinct species.
The European tree frog (Hyla arborea) is a small tree frog.As traditionally defined, it was found throughout much of Europe, Asia and northern Africa, [3] but based on molecular genetic and other data several populations formerly included in it are now recognized as separate species (for example, H. intermedia of Italy and nearby, H. molleri of the Iberian Peninsula, H. meridionalis of parts ...
