Afrixalus, commonly known as the banana frogs, spiny reed frogs, '''cat's eye reed frogs, or leaf-folding frogs''', is a genus of frog in the family Hyperoliidae. They occur in the Subsaharan Africa. They lay their eggs in vegetation above water, often folding leaves around the eggs for protection—hence the common name "leaf-folding frogs".

Heterixalus is a genus of frogs within the family Hyperoliidae, endemic to Madagascar. It is the sister taxon to the genus Tachycnemis. These frogs are commonly referred to as Madagascar reed frogs. Heterixalus species are colorful, small to medium-sized frogs ranging from 18-40 mm in length. They have webbing on both the front and back feet, and the digits and webbing are typically yellow and orange. The tips of the digits are circularly enlarged, and the lateral metatarsalia are connected. Distinct among Malagasy frogs, the pupil is shaped as a "vertical rhomboid," with the anterior side poi
