Chiromantis (commonly known as the foam-nest frog or foam-nest tree frog) is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. It contains species from the Sub-Saharan African tropics as well as from South and East Asia (northeastern India, Bangladesh, China, Mainland Southeast Asia, and Borneo).[1] The Asian species were formerly assigned to Chirixalus, but this taxon was shown to be paraphyletic with respect to African Chiromantis. Consequently, Chirixalus were included in Chiromantis. Monophyly of Chiromantis also required erecting a new genus Feihyla for "Chirixalus palpebralis".[1][2]

Description
The current delineation of Chiromantis is based on molecular phylogenetics, and there is no morphological character that defines genus. They are moderately large frogs with a snout-vent length of 35–80 mm (1.4–3.1 in). They lay their eggs in foam nests.[2]
