Polypedates mutus, the northern treefrog, Burmese whipping frog or vocal sacless treefrog, is a frog of the family Rhacophoridae. The cached account gives its range as southern and south-western China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam and does not mention India, so its Indian listing here rests on the species database (Wikipedia, general species account).

It may actually represent two different species, and it is not known which is the true P. mutus because specimens from the type locality in northern Myanmar have not been analysed. Its natural habitats are forests and the surrounding areas, and it breeds in standing water such as pools, ponds, marshes and paddy fields (Wikipedia, general species account).
