Theloderma pyaukkya, the Burmese camouflaged tree frog, Burmese warty tree frog or Burmese bug-eyed frog, is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is native to China and western Myanmar.[2][3][1][4]
The adult male frog measures about 28.0 to 31.5 mm in snout-vent length. The skin of the frog's dorsum is creamy or white in color. There are dark brown marks near its eyes. The toes of the front feet are red in color with tiny gold marks.[3]
Etymology[edit]
Scientists named this frog pyaukkya after the Burmese language word for "camouflage" because of the frog's cryptic coloration.[3]
