Kurixalus odontotarsus
species of Amphibia
Kurixalus odontotarsus (serrate-legged small treefrog) is a species of frog in the family Rhacophoridae. It is found in southern China, Vietnam, Laos, and possibly Myanmar, where it has been observed between 250 and 1500 meters above sea level. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland. The tadpoles swim in ditches and temporary pools. It is threatened by habitat loss through deforestation associated with small farms and logging.
Male Kurixalus odontotarsus grow to a snout–vent length of about 32 mm (1.3 in) and females about 43 mm (1.7 in).
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Kurixalus odontotarsus” is species of Amphibia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Kurixalus, odontotarsus and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of Amphibia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28064770. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1500.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
