Chiromantis is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, commonly known as foam-nest frogs or foam-nest tree frogs.[1] It contains species from the Sub-Saharan African tropics.[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]
