How many species in the genus?[edit]

The article is contradictory about how many species there are in this genus. The article introduces the genus as "monotypic" with a "sole species", but later describes an additional "unnamed species". Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this is a contradiction that needs to be resolved. 72.94.61.22 (talk) 20:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The paper just published by Bidu et al identified eight of the specimens that they collected as conspecific with the type specimen of Polypedates jerdonii, which they have proposed to move to a new genus Frankixalus. Their DNA testing also identified three specimens which they they regard as belonging to a closely related species congeneric with Frankixalus jerdoni. One of those specimens had previously been (mis)identified by another group as Theloderma moloch. So the genus is, for the moment, formally monotypic, but the authors who erected it clearly indicate that it should include a second species, which may be new to science. I agree the article doesn't explain it very well. William Avery (talk) 21:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. The article makes more sense to me now. 72.94.61.22 (talk) 00:28, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarian frog?[edit]

I've been reading about Frankixalus jerdonii on various websites which claim that the young eat their mother's eggs and the adults are vegetarians. Can this be verified? A vegetarian amphibian? If this is true, I'm amazed. Are there any other vegetarian amphibians, either extant or extinct? 2601:98A:400:82F8:3C8B:558E:9143:2C06 (talk) 05:30, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
