Hyla molleri, also known as the Iberian tree frog or Moller's tree frog, is a species of frog in the family Hylidae, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula and southwesternmost France. [1] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of Hyla arborea , but was split based on genetic differences.
The frog's skin is green with some white or light blue spots. The irises are pale gray with yellow rings. The flanks and hind legs are yellow with short black stripes and triangular patterns. The forelegs and much of the front feet are orange. The throat is yellow. Unlike those of most other tree frogs, the belly of C. calcarifer has dark ...
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.
North America has many species of the family Hylidae, including the gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) and the American green tree frog (H. cinerea). The spring peeper ( Pseudacris crucifer ) is also widespread in the eastern United States and is commonly heard on spring and summer evenings.
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.
Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs. They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. Over 40 species are currently recognised. [1]
