Gracixalus is a group of frogs in the family Rhacophoridae. They live in south-eastern Asia.

Scientists studied the frogs' genes, or the chemicals that make their bodies the way they are, and they found that the frogs in Gracixalus are more like the frogs in Vampyrius than other frogs. Vampyrius has the vampire tree frog in it.
