''Liuixalus'' is a small genus of rhacophorid frogs that are distributed in southern China (Hong Kong, Hainan, Guanxi). All species now in ''Liuixalus'' were originally placed in ''Philautus''. There is no diagnostic morphological characters to define the genus. Instead, the genus was erected based on molecular genetic evidence showing distinctness of ''Liuixalus romeri'' (then known as ''Chiromantis romeri'') from the rest of ''Chiromantis''. The genus name commemorates Cheng-chao Liu, a Chinese herpetologist.〔 The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed two of the three species as endangered (''Liuixalus ocellatus'' and ''L. romeri''), while the remaining one is considered data deficient. ==Species== There are only five recognized species in the genus ''Liuixalus'':〔 * ''Liuixalus calcarius'' Milto, Poyarkov, Orlov, and Nguyen, 2013 * ''Liuixalus feii'' Yang, Rao, and Wang, 2015 * ''Liuixalus hainanus'' (Liu and Wu, 2004) * ''Liuixalus ocellatus'' (Liu and Hu, 1973) * ''Liuixalus romeri'' (Smith, 1953) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liuixalus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
