Vernacular names
English: Foam-nest Treefrogs
Chiromantis is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae commonly known as foam-nest frogs or foam-nest tree frogs.[1] It contains species from the Sub-Saharan African tropics.[1][2] Following the molecular genetic study by Chen and colleagues (2020),[2] the Asian species formerly assigned to Chiromantis have now been reclassified to the resurrected genus Chirixalus.[1]
Description
Chiromantis lay their eggs in terrestrial foam nests.[2]
Species
The following species are recognised in the genus Chiromantis:[1]
Chiromantis kelleri Boettger, 1893
Chiromantis petersii Boulenger, 1882
Chiromantis rufescens (Günther, 1869)
