Raorchestes
''Raorchestes'' is a genus of frogs in the Rhacophorinae subfamily. These frogs can be found in South and Southeast Asia, from southern India to Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos to southern China and Vietnam and West Malaysia.〔 They are particularly diverse in the Western Ghats of India.〔 Before the description of the genus in 2010, species now in ''Raorchestes'' had been assigned to genera ''Ixalus'' (no longer recognized), ''Philautus'', and ''Pseudophilautus''. The genus is named in honour of C. R. Narayan Rao in recognition of his contribution to Indian batrachology. The scientific nomen ''Orchestes'' is based on the first generic nomen coined for frogs of the ''Philautus'' group, ''Orchestes'' Tschudi 1838.〔
==Description==
''Raorchestes'' are largely nocturnal, relatively small frogs with adult body size in snout-vent length. They lack vomerine teeth. Males have a large transparent vocal sac while calling. All ''Raorchestes'' where development is known have direct development, that is, their life cycle does not involve a free-swimming tadpole stage.〔 Their sister taxon is ''Pseudophilautus''.〔〔
