Kina Balu Flying Frog (Frank and Ramus, 1995, Compl. Guide Scient. Common Names Amph. Rept. World: 113).
Masked Flying Frog (Haas, Das, Hertwig, Bublies, and Schulz-Schaeffer, 2022, Guide to the Tadpoles of Borneo: 230).

Comment
Elevated from status of subspecies of Rhacophorus schlegeli by Inger, 1966, Fieldiana, Zool., 52: 283. Inger and Tan, 1990, Raffles Bull. Zool., 38: 3–9, suggested on the basis of larval morphology that this species was most closely related to Rhacophorus bimaculatus, and Rhacophorus gauni. See brief account and photo by Manthey and Grossmann, 1997, Amph. Rept. Südostasiens: 131–132. Malkmus, Manthey, Vogel, Hoffmann, and Kosuch, 2002, Amph. Rept. Mount Kinabalu: 201–203, provided an account. See photograph, map, description of geographic range and habitat, and conservation status in Stuart, Hoffmann, Chanson, Cox, Berridge, Ramani, and Young, 2008, Threatened Amph. World: 538. Haas, Das, Hertwig, Bublies, and Schulz-Schaeffer, 2022, Guide to the Tadpoles of Borneo: 230–232, summarized the knowledge of habitat, reproduction, larval morphology and coloration.
