The common Chinese tree frog[2] (Hyla chinensis), also known under common names common Chinese treetoad and Chinese tree toad (Chinese Traditional: 中國雨蛙 Chinese Simplified: 中国雨蛙 Pinyin: Zhōngguó yǔwā), is a species of frog in the family Hylidae found in southeastern and eastern China and in Taiwan. There is also one record from Vietnam but it is uncertain whether it really represents this species or Hyla annectans.[2]
