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]

These species are in Chiromantis:^[1]
