Chiromantis nongkhorensis, the Nongkhor pigmy tree frog, Nongkhor Asian Treefrog or Nong Khor Bushfrog, is widely distributed across peninsular Southeast Asia through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Viet Nam.This racophorid tree frog inhabits lowland and low montane forests up to 1700 m (5600 ft) above sea level.Like other members of the genus, they frequently cluster at forest edges and the sides of trails, always near rain pools.Breeding in aggregations, adults perch in and call from shrubbery and grasses around the pools, and female lay eggs in a foamy mass into the water.The Nongkhor pigmy frog is moderately large in size, reaching up to 38 mm snout-vent length. Adult have reddish- or light lavender-brown colored dorsum, a white belly, and various spotting on the back, and smooth skin scattered with tubercles.Although this frog is susceptible to habitat loss, especially through clear cutting, it is widespread and present in multiple protected areas, so is recognized as of least concern for extinction by the IUCN at this time.
Chirixalus nongkhorensis, also known as the Nongkhor Asian treefrog, Nongkhor pigmy tree frog, Nong Khor bushfrog, and Nongkhor foam-nest treefrog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae.[2] It is found in north-eastern India (Assam), Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Peninsular Malaysia.[1][2]
Chirixalus nongkhorensis occurs in a wide range of both open and forested habitats, often affected by human disturbance, at elevations of 78–1,660 m (256–5,446 ft) above sea level. Breeding takes place around the rainy season adjacent to still bodies of water; the eggs are laid in foam nests attached to the underside of leaves overhanging water, to which the tadpoles drop upon hatching.[1]
This species could be threatened by forests loss, although it appears quite adaptable. It is present in a number of protected areas.[1]
