Information: - Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres and sharing the continental landmass of Eurasia with the continent of Europe. Asia covers an area of , about 30% of Earth's total land area and 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area. The continent, which has long been home to the majority of the human population, was the site of many of the first civilizations. Asia is notable for not only its overall large size and population, but also dense and large settlements as well as vast barely populated regions within the continent of 4.4 billion people. - Kurixalus is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. The taxonomy of small rhacophids is difficult and has been subject to many revisions, but molecular genetic data do support monophyly of "Kurixalus". These frogs are distributed from Himalayan front ranges of eastern India southward and eastward to Cambodia, Vietnam, southern China, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands. - South India is the area encompassing the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Telangana as well as the union territories of Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep and Puducherry, occupying 19.31% of India's area. Covering the southern part of the peninsular Deccan Plateau, South India is bounded by the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south. The geography of the region is diverse with two mountain ranges - the Western and Eastern Ghats, bordering the plateau heartland. Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri, Tungabhadra and Vaigai rivers are important non-perennial sources of water. Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Coimbatore and Kochi are the largest urban areas. - Sub-Saharan Africa is, geographically, the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara desert. According to the UN, it consists of all African countries that are fully or partially located south of the Sahara. It contrasts with North Africa, whose territories are part of the League of Arab states within the Arab world. Somalia, Djibouti, Comoros and Mauritania are geographically in Sub-Saharan Africa, but are likewise Arab states and part of the Arab world. - A tree frog is any species of frog that spends a major portion of its lifespan in trees, known as an arboreal state. Several lineages of frogs among the Neobatrachia have given rise to tree frogs, although they are not closely related to each other. - A continent is one of several very large landmasses on Earth. Generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, up to seven regions are commonly regarded as continents. Ordered from largest in size to smallest, they are: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. In geology, areas of continental crust include regions covered with water. - China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a unitary sovereign state in East Asia. With a population of over 1.381billion, it is the world's most populous country. The state is governed by the Communist Party of China, and its capital is Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Chongqing), and two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau), and claims sovereignty over Taiwan. The country's major urban areas include Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Hong Kong. China is a great power and a major regional power within Asia, and has been characterized as a potential superpower. - Chiromantis ( commonly known as the foam - nest frog or foam - nest tree frog ) is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae . It contains species from the Sub-Saharan African tropics as well as from South and East Asia ( northeastern India , Bangladesh , China , Mainland Southeast Asia , and Borneo ) . The Asian species were formerly assigned to Chirixalus , but this taxon was shown to be paraphyletic with respect to African Chiromantis . Consequently , Chirixalus were included in Chiromantis . Monophyly of Chiromantis also required erecting a new genus Feihyla for '' Chirixalus palpebralis '' . - The Rhacophoridae are a family of frog species, which occur in tropical sub-Saharan Africa, South India and Sri Lanka, Japan; northeastern India to eastern China south through the Philippines and Greater Sundas, and Sulawesi. They are commonly known as shrub frogs, or more ambiguously as "moss frogs" or "bush frogs". Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs". - Theloderma is a genus of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae, subfamily Rhacophorinae. They are found in South, Southeast and East Asia. They are sometimes known as bug-eyed frogs or warty treefrogs. Their sister taxon is "Nyctixalus". The taxonomy of this genus and "Nyctixalus" as well as ""Theloderma" moloch" has been in flux; as of early 2017, the AmphibiaWeb includes "Nyctixalus" in "Theloderma" whereas the Amphibian Species of the World keeps them separate. - Chirixalus is a now-synonymized genus in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It used to include species from southern and eastern Asia. These species are now found mostly in "Chiromantis", but also in "Kurixalus", "Liuixalus", "Feihyla", "Gracixalus", and "Theloderma". The demise of "Chirixalus" and its absorption into "Chiromantis" resulted mostly from polyphyly of "Chirixalus" and paraphyly of "Chiromantis". What is the relationship between 'chiromantis' and 'rhacophorinae'?
