Kaloula is a genus of microhylid frogs found in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia. They are sometimes known as the Asian narrowmouth toads.[1]
Species
The genus has currently about 17 species.[1] Some sources recognize Kaloula macrocephala Bourret, 1942 as a valid species,[2][3] whereas the Amphibian Species of the World treats it as a synonym of Kaloula pulchra.[1] Two species has been described just recently (in 2013), and there are unnamed species yet to be described.[1]
