碧眼樹蛙 Kurixalus berylliniris

碧眼樹蛙(Kurixalus berylliniris)終於正式從艾氏樹蛙裡分出來，取得屬於自己的身分證
同時還有另一種分布更為侷限的王氏樹蛙(Kurixalus wangi)，也一併發表，因此台灣又新增了兩種樹蛙
真是可喜可賀，可喜可賀阿，可惜只有拍過碧眼與艾氏，去年去找王氏時疑似有聽到聲音
但當天雨勢太大，根本像颱風一樣，在附近徘徊許久遲遲無法下切，只好放棄
今年有機會去把王氏拍一拍吧，所以這篇就只貼碧眼樹蛙作紀念~~~

Two new species of rhacophorid tree frog were identified in Taiwan. In both new taxa, derived reproductive characteristics of laying eggs in tree holes and oophagous tadpoles are shared with Kurixalus eiffingeri, but they are divergent from each other in molecular genetics, mating calls, and tadpole and adult morphology. The morphological characteristics and the molecular phylogenetic evidence support the hypothesis that the two new species, Kurixalus berylliniris sp. n. and Kurixalus wangi sp. n., are both monophyletic lineages.

碧眼樹蛙真是美呆了~~~
