Chiromantis is a group of frogs. These frogs are in the scientific family Rhacophoridae. In English, these frogs are named foam-nest frogs or foam-nest tree frogs.[1] These frogs live in Sub-Saharan African places that are near the middle of the planet Earth, where it is warmest.[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 piles of foam on the ground.[2]
