Feihyla

Feihyla is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. These frogs are found in southern China and Southeast Asia. The name Feihyla derives from the Mandarin Chinese words "fei" (meaning "flying") and "hyla" (referring to tree frogs), alluding to their arboreal lifestyle and leaping abilities.

Feihyla species are generally small to medium-sized frogs. They are characterized by their slender bodies, long limbs, and expanded toe discs which aid in climbing. Their coloration is typically cryptic, blending in with their arboreal environment.

These frogs are primarily nocturnal and inhabit forests, where they breed in tree holes or other small bodies of water. Their tadpoles are aquatic and feed on algae and other organic matter.

Species within the Feihyla genus have been subject to taxonomic revision, and the exact number of recognized species can vary depending on the source. Conservation status also varies among species, with some facing threats from habitat loss and degradation.
