Beddomixalus
''Beddomixalus'' is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. ''Beddomixalus bijui'', endemic to India, is the only described species. Its name is derived from a combination of the cognomen of Richard Henry Beddome, in honor of his fieldwork involving the amphibian diversity of the Western Ghats, as well as ''Ixalus'', which is often used as a suffix for names of rhacophorid genera.〔Abraham, Robin Kurian, et al. "Two novel genera and one new species of treefrog (Anura: Rhacophoridae) highlight cryptic diversity in the Western Ghats of India." Zootaxa 3640.2 (2013): 177-189.〕
==Description==
''Beddomixalus'' differs from the other rhacophorid genera by being a slender and elongated medium-sized frog, the female measuring up to in length; its yellowish-buff or reddish-brown dorsum carrying two distinct yellowish-cream longitudinal stripes; vomerine teeth and an absent lingual papilla; distinct supratympanic fold as well as tympanum; a rounded canthus rostralis; an obtusely concave loreal region; a simple and tubular Wolffian duct. At the same time, the early development of non-pigmented eggs occur exposed on moist swamp beds, without protection nor parental care; it has free-living aquatic tadpoles which are adapted to lentic conditions; and the genus inhabits mid- to high elevation forests.〔
