About 100 lomas near the Pacific Ocean are identified between 5°S and 30°S latitude, a north–south distance of about 2,800 kilometres (1,700 mi). Lomas range in size from a small vegetated ...
Grey foam-nest tree frogs show remarkable adaptability in their oviposition sites, as they may lay their eggs in a variety of unique habitats. They typically choose environments hanging over bodies of water, but if this is not possible, they lay eggs on any other suitable objects.
Rhacophorus is a genus of frogs in the shrub-frog family Rhacophoridae, which, with the related Hylidae, is one of the two genera of true tree frogs. They are found in China, India, Japan, and throughout Southeast Asia, including the island of Borneo. Over 40 species are currently recognised. [1]
Hylidae is a wide-ranging family of frogs commonly referred to as "tree frogs and their allies". However, the hylids include a diversity of frog species, many of which do not live in trees, but are terrestrial or semiaquatic.

[2] They have a number of common names, including forest treefrogs, tree frogs, leaf-frogs, [1] and ...
Males call from tree holes. The eggs are laid on the inner walls of water-filled hollows, and the tadpoles develop in water. They are oophagous. [4] This species was for a long time only known from the type series collected in 1870. [1] [7] [8] However, populations were discovered in surveys conducted in 2007–2010.
It is known under numerous common names, including common tree frog, four-lined tree frog, golden tree frog [2] or striped tree frog. Many past authors have united it with the common Indian tree frog in P. maculatus (or Rhacophorus maculatus , as was common in older times), but today they are generally considered distinct species.
