Frog! Researchers have cancelled the distribution of dwarf tree frogs in China

Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, January 14 (Reporter Zhuang Beining) reporters from China
Xishuangpana Tropical Botanical Garden learned that researchers recently made progress in yunnan border areas on the classification of the genus of the bush, the elimination of the distribution of dwarf tree frogs in China records, but also found that the two new species of tree frogs - bohai irrigation tree frog and Huanglianshan irrigation frog. The findings were published recently in the academic journal Asian Amphibian Reptile Research.
In order to solve the problem of the classification of the genus of irrigation frogs
, a team of researchers led by Li Jiatang of the Chengdu Institute of Biology of China led the classification of the species of the genus of the irrigation frog distributed in the border areas of Yunnan in cooperation with the Red River College and the Xishuangbana Tropical Botanical Garden of China
During field expeditions from 2018 to 2019, the team obtained more than 20 specimens of the genus of the irrigation frog family from Xishuangbannayu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province and more than 10 suspected new species from the Hani Dai Autonomous Prefecture of the Red River in Yunnan Province.
After in-depth study, researchers have achieved a number of results: the previous report of the Jurassic Tree Frog is actually a python irrigation tree frog, should cancel the distribution record of the Jura irrigation tree frog in China; These studies have laid the foundation for the follow-up study on the taxonomy of the genus of irrigation frogs in China and neighboring areas.
researchers told reporters: "Jurassic bush frog species was first found in Myanmar, in recent years has been reported to be distributed in Yunnan Xishuangpana County, Lulun Town, now we found that this is a specimen identification error, so now there is no distribution of jurassic tree frogs."
It is understood that the genus of the bush frog was established in 2010, belonging to the tree frog family, the species is small, 15-45 mm long, often inhabited in the bush, the breeding mode is direct development, that is, the dragonfly in the egg to complete the perverted process, directly hatched the young frog. The genus consists of 68 species, more than 80% of which are found in India, in addition to Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia and Yunnan and Tibet in China.
