''Polypedates'' is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, the shrub frogs and Paleotropic tree frogs. They belong to subfamily Rhacophoridae. Members of this genus are collectively known as whipping frogs. They occur in East, South and Southeast Asia.〔 The delimitation of ''Polypedates'' versus the related ''Rhacophorus'' has been difficult. In former times, the present genus was often entirely included in ''Rhacophorus''. However, molecular phylogenetic studies support the recognition of both genera. ''Polypedates'' + ''Taruga'' are considered to be the sister taxon of ''Feihyla'' + ''Rhacophorus''.〔 ==Species== Currently 24 species are included in ''Polypedates'', with new species still being described on a regular basis: * ''Polypedates assamensis'' Mathew & Sen, 2009 * ''Polypedates bijui'' Zachariah, Dinesh, Kunhikrishnan, Das, Raju, Radhakrishnan, Palot & Kalesh, 2011 * ''Polypedates braueri'' (Vogt, 1911) – White-lipped treefrog or Java treefrog * ''Polypedates chlorophthalmus'' Das, 2005 * ''Polypedates colletti'' (Boulenger, 1890) – Collett's whipping frog, black-spotted tree frog, or Collett's tree frog * ''Polypedates cruciger'' Blyth, 1852 – Sri Lanka whipping frog or common hour-glass tree-frog * ''Polypedates hecticus'' Peters, 1863 – Samara flying frog * ''Polypedates impresus'' Yang, 2008 * ''Polypedates insularis'' Das, 2005 – Nicobarese tree frog * ''Polypedates iskandari'' Riyanto, Mumpuni & McGuire, 2011 * ''Polypedates leucomystax'' (Gravenhorst, 1829) – common tree frog, four-lined tree frog, striped tree frog, "white-lipped tree frog" (formerly often in ''P. maculatus'') * ''Polypedates macrotis'' (Boulenger, 1891) – Bongao tree frog * ''Polypedates maculatus'' (Gray, 1830) – common Indian tree frog, Chunam tree frog * ''Polypedates megacephalus'' Hallowell, 1861 – spot-legged tree frog, Hong Kong whipping frog, "brown tree frog" * ''Polypedates mutus'' (Smith, 1940) – northern treefrog * ''Polypedates occidentalis'' Das and Dutta, 2006 – western tree frog * ''Polypedates otilophus'' (Boulenger, 1893) – file-eared tree frog, Borneo eared frog * ''Polypedates pseudocruciger'' Das and Ravichandran, 1998 – false hour-glass tree frog or yellow tree frog * ''Polypedates pseudotilophus'' Matsui, Hamidy, and Kuraishi, 2014 * ''Polypedates ranwellai'' Wickramasingha, Munindradasa, and Fernando, 2012 – Ranwella's spined tree frog * ''Polypedates subansiriensis'' Mathew & Sen, 2009 – Subansiri's tree frog * ''Polypedates taeniatus'' (Boulenger, 1906) – Bengal whipping Frog, Bengal whipping tree frog, or Terai tree frog * ''Polypedates teraiensis'' (Dubois, 1987) – common tree frog, six-lined tree frog, Terai tree frog, or Perching frog * ''Polypedates zed'' (Dubois, 1987) – Nepalese tree frog or Narayanghat whipping frog 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「Polypedates」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
