Kurixalus Ye, Fei & Dubois ex Fei 1999

Kurixalus is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae.^[1] The taxonomy of small rhacophids is difficult and has been subject to many revisions, but molecular genetic data do support monophyly of Kurixalus. These frogs are distributed from Himalayan front ranges of eastern India southward and eastward to Cambodia, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands.^[2]
