Phylogenetic relationships among representative species of the family Rhacophoridae were investigated based on 2904bp of sequences from both mitochondrial (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, the complete t-RNA for valine), and nuclear (tyrosinase, rhodopsin) genes. Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses were employed to reconstruct the phylogenetic trees. This analysis, combined with previous phylogenetic studies, serves as a framework for future work in rhacophorid systematics. The monophyly of Rhacophorus is strongly confirmed except for the species R.hainanus, which is the sister taxon to A.odontotarsus. The non-monophyly of the newly designated genus Aquixalus by Delorme et al. [Delorme, M., Dubois, A., Grosjean, S., Ohler, A., 2005. Une nouvelle classification générique et subgénérique de la tribu des Philautini (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae, Rhacophorinae). Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 74, 165-171] is further confirmed. Aquixalus (Aquixalus) forms a well-supported monophyletic group within Kurixalus, whereas, Aquixalus (Gracixalus) is more closely related to species of Rhacophorus, Polypedates, and Chiromantis. Philautus as currently understood, does not form a monophyletic group. Philautus (Kirtixalus) is the sister group to the clade comprising Kurixalus and Aquixalus (Aquixalus), and more remotely related to Philautus (Philautus). Chiromantisromeri does not cluster with species of Chiromantis, and forms a basal clade to all rhacophorids save Buergeria. We propose some taxonomic changes that reflect these findings, but further revision should await more detailed studies, which include combined morphological and molecular analyses, with greater species sampling.
基于线粒体（12S rRNA、16S rRNA、缬氨酸完整t - RNA）和核基因（酪氨酸酶、视紫红质）的2904bp序列，对树蛙科代表性物种之间的系统发育关系进行了研究。采用最大简约法、最大似然法和贝叶斯分析来重建系统发育树。该分析与先前的系统发育研究相结合，为树蛙科系统学的未来工作提供了一个框架。除海南树蛙外，树蛙属的单系性得到了有力证实，海南树蛙是齿突树蛙的姐妹分类单元。Delorme等人[Delorme, M., Dubois, A., Grosjean, S., Ohler, A., 2005. Une nouvelle classification générique et subgénérique de la tribu des Philautini (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae, Rhacophorinae). Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon 74, 165 - 171]新指定的水树蛙属的非单系性得到了进一步证实。水树蛙属（水树蛙亚属）在溪树蛙属内形成了一个得到充分支持的单系类群，而水树蛙属（棱鼻树蛙亚属）与树蛙属、泛树蛙属和掌突蟾属的物种关系更为密切。目前所理解的小树蛙属并不形成一个单系类群。小树蛙属（短肢小树蛙亚属）是包括溪树蛙属和水树蛙属（水树蛙亚属）的进化枝的姐妹群，与小树蛙属（小树蛙亚属）的关系更为疏远。罗氏掌突蟾不与掌突蟾属的物种聚类，并且在除了倭蛙属之外的所有树蛙科动物中形成一个基部进化枝。我们提出了一些反映这些发现的分类学变化，但进一步的修订应等待更详细的研究，包括形态学和分子分析相结合以及更多物种采样。
