Alcalus is a small genus of frogs in the family Ceratobatrachidae.[1][2] It is the only member of the subfamily Alcalinae. Its sister taxon is Ceratobatrachinae.[3] Common name Alcala's dwarf mountain frogs has been proposed for the genus. They are found in Palawan Island (the Philippines), Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula.[1] They prefer semi-aquatic microhabitats.[4]

Etymology

The genus is named in honour of Angel Alcala, a Filipino biologist who has worked with Southeast Asian amphibians.[4]
