Buergeria is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, and the sole genus of subfamily Buergeriinae. Iti s the sister taxon for all the other rhacophorids (subfamily Rhacophorinae). The available genetic data firmly supports this position.[1][2]
Buergeria are sometimes known as Buerger's frogs. There are four species found in an area that stretches from Hainan (China) and Taiwan through the Ryukyu Islands to Honshu (Japan).[3]
