Chirixalus is a now-synonymized genus in the moss frog family (Rhacophoridae). It used to include species from southern and eastern Asia. These species are now found mostly in Chiromantis, but also in Kurixalus, Liuixalus, Feihyla, Gracixalus, and Theloderma. The demise of Chirixalus and its absorption into Chiromantis resulted mostly from polyphyly of Chirixalus and paraphyly of Chiromantis.
