Buergeriinae Rhacophorinae The Rhacophoridae are a family of frogs in tropical sub-Saharan Africa, South India and Sri Lanka, Japan, northeastern India to eastern China and Taiwan, south through the Philippines and Greater Sundas, and Sulawesi.

Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold on to a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam.

[1] Like other arboreal frogs, they have toe discs, and those of the genus Chiromantis have two opposable fingers on each hand.

These frogs have extensive webbing between their fore and hind limbs, allowing them to glide through the air.
