Dryophytes flaviventris Borzée and Min in Borzée, Messenger, Chae, Andersen, Groffen, Kim, An, Othman, Ri, Nam, Bae, Ren, Li, Chuang, Yi, Shin, Kwon, Jang, and Min, 2020, PLoS One, 15(6: e0234299): 17. Holotype: CGRB 15733, by original designation. Type locality: "Iksan, Republic of Korea (35.984462 N, 126.921637 E; . . . )". Zoobank publication registration: 6155C475-42DA-4888-9F5A-A97EF67081DA

Common Names

Yellow-bellied Treefrog (original publication).

Distribution

Known only from Buyeo, Nonsan and Iksan counties in the southwestern part of the Republic of Korea (south of Chilgap Mountain Range); reported to likely have once occurred in Wanju and Gunsan counties, but now extirpated.

Geographic Occurrence

Natural Resident: Korea, Republic of (South)

Endemic: Korea, Republic of (South)

Comment

Hybridization with Dryophytes japonicus discussed (as Dryophytes suweonensis) by Borzée, Fong, Nguyen, and Jang, 2020, Animals, 10 (764): 1–19. In the Dryophytes immaculatus group and partitioned out of Dryophytes suweonensis on the basis of call, morphology, and molecular characteristics, according to the original publication., discussed the systematics, call, morphology, and biogeography of this species with respect to nearest relatives, Dryophytes immaculatus and Dryophytes flaviventris. See also Lee and Park, 1992, Korean J. Zool., 35: 219-225, reported on geographic variation in mtDNA restriction sites (in the sense of also including Dryophytes suweonensis). Lee, Yang, Kim, Lee, Lee, Yang, and Lee, 1999, Korean J. Genet., 3: 295-301, reported (in the sense of including Dryophytes suweonensis) on sequence divergence from Hyla japonica. Borzée, Kong, Didinger, Nguyen, and Jang, 2018, Herpetol. J., 28: 160–170, discussed mtDNA phylogeography and osteological differences (Dryophytes suweonensis in this study composed of both Dryophytes suweonensis and the subsequently named Dryophytes flaviventris) from Dryophytes immaculatus. Andersen, Chuang, Choe, Kim, Kwon, Jang, and Borzée, 2022, Zool. Stud., Taipei, 61(25): 1–10, reported on the elevational range (2–13 m) in Rep. Korea. Rahman, Yun, Lee, Lee, Park, Ham, and Sung, 2023, PeerJ, 11(e16492) : 1–14, discussed call variation and similarity to that of Dryophytes suweonensis, suggesting that genetic studies may show them to be conspecific. Borzée, 2024, Continental NE Asian Amph.: 49–53, provided a detailed account (distribution including a polygon map, habitat, ecology, conservation, photos of larvae and adults, identification tools) for northeastern Asia.
